Our homemade blackberry lemonade recipe is for lemonade lovers who want to add some flair to their daily sipping routine.
This recipe is quick and easy. Buy any store-bought lemonade you fancy—the magic is in the simple syrup, which comes together quickly and inexpensively. Fresh blackberries are great, but the frozen packages work just as well.
We added additional fresh-squeezed lemon juice to this recipe because we expect to pucker over our favorite afternoon refresher, but feel free to add the additional lemon juice to your liking.
