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.

  1. This looks so very refreshing and quite easy to make, too!! Thanks for sharing — I’ll be making this one this weekend. Beautiful photos, too.

  2. Chelsea I absolutely love your photos and have been following your blog for a while. I was wondering if you use a Lightroom preset for your pictures, and if you do, could you please tell me which one? Thanks!

    1. Thank you so much Richa! 🙂 I started with LR presets and have since created my own preset to what I use for pretty much all my photos! I one I started with is Fuji Superia 200, hope that helps 🙂

  3. This looks so good! But because of where I live, I can’t buy fresh blueberries without paying a fortune, if we get any at all. Do you think this would work using frozen blueberries?

    1. I’m sorry; I’ve never tried frozen blueberries so I can’t say for sure! I don’t see why they wouldn’t work though!

    1. I’ve never tried freezing it, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Enjoy! 🙂

  4. I am thinking about using this for a program that we do with girls in the summer, but I need to make it without sugar for a diabetic staff member. Can you use splenda or truvia instead of sugar?

    1. I’m sure you could! I haven’t tried alternative sweeteners, but if you scale it down based on the ratio of artificial sweetener to sugar, it should work great!

  5. 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.

  6. 5 stars
    Sounds easy and me and my mom will love it will be a great drink to make when I am just thristry or it’s hot out

  7. I can’t have carbonation (no bubbles except occasionally) will this be ok with regular water?

  8. 5 stars
    This was great. I didn’t use sparkling water, just water since I don’t like sparkling, and it was fantastic. Will make again. Thank you for sharing.

  9. 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!

  10. 5 stars
    I work in a Radisson group of hotels and often include your recipes in Sunday Brunch Buffet. This blueberry lemonade was a great hit. Thank you for sharing such nice recipes that really bring smiles to our guests. Looking forward for more.

  11. 5 stars
    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.

  12. 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.
