Easy Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade

Easy and delicious sparkling blueberry lemonade. The perfect cool down summer drink!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 large pitcher, about 6-8 cups

Ingredients  

  • 2/3 cup white sugar (superfine is best)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (~4-5 whole large lemons)
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 3 cups sparkling water or club soda (my favorite is sparkling lemon lime water)

Instructions 

  • Combine the sugar, water, blueberries, and lemon zest in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and then simmer for 10 minutes or until the sugar is melted and blueberries are starting to burst.
  • Remove from the heat and pass through a fine sieve. Let this blueberry syrup completely cool.
  • Meanwhile, juice the lemons to get 1 cup lemon juice.
  • In a large pitcher, add the blueberry syrup, lemon juice, and ice. Stir together.
  • Stir in the sparkling water or club soda RIGHT before enjoying (don't add sparkling water/club soda to anything you plan on having leftover)
  • Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

If you don't plan on drinking this all in 1 day, keep the juice (blueberry syrup + lemon juice) separate from the sparking water. Add the two together as you want a cup of lemonade.

    Fill a bowl with super cold water and put away. Carry a pot of water to a moving bubble.

    LEMON DROP WITH LIMONCELLO
    Limoncello is a sweet, sugary lemon alcohol that Italians taste after a dinner as a digestif. For a lemon drop martini, I like to supplant the triple sec with two shots of limoncello and scaled the vodka back to a single shot.

    Made it for 4th of July family gathering – it was a hit! I added a 1/4 cup more sugar and 1/4 cup more blueberries.

    Hi Chelsea!
    I’m from Austria and it’s not too common to flavour lemonade like this here! It’s a cool idea and sounds really good! I’ll have to try it some day!

    This was great. I didnโ€™t use sparkling water, just water since I donโ€™t like sparkling, and it was fantastic. Will make again. Thank you for sharing.

    I put up a lot of blueberries this past summer and they’re all in my freezer. I would like to use these blueberries to make the blueberry lemonade recipe. Since you mentioned using fresh blueberries I wonder if these blueberries that I put up would work as well.

    1. chelseamessyapron says:

      They should work ok! ๐Ÿ™‚ Enjoy!
