Blackberry Lemonade Recipe

It’s hard to believe summer is so close! As summer quickly approaches, I’m working on getting myself prepared for warmer weather with this blackberry lemonade recipe.

Truly not many things are as refreshing when summertime rolls around than a cool refreshing glass of lemonade, unless you’re upping the flavor with some fresh berries.  With blackberries recently being on sale, the logical thing for me to do is to make them into a refreshing blackberry lemonade recipe.

Lemonade is a perfect beverage to make in large batches and keep on hand all summer long! The kids and guests can both enjoy it this way.  This summer, as I’m awaiting the arrival of our new little one to join our crazy chaos, I’ll be keeping my feet elevated with this nice and cool blackberry lemonade recipe.

If you are really looking to celebrate or enjoy a girl’s night in, you could add some champagne to take this blackberry lemonade recipe to the next notch.  Consider adding a shot of vodka or silver tequila to really give it a fresh kick.  I’m giving myself some awesome ideas for when mid-July rolls around.
