This Berry lemonade with honey is refreshing, delicious and a delightful thirst quencher from the sweltering summer heat.

Berry lemonade

I’m sure everyone enjoys a glass of plain, good old fashioned lemonade to quench their thirst during the sweltering summer heat. But why just stick to plain lemonade when you can pump its flavor by infusing so many other citrusy, refreshing fruits as well!

I’m not a sucker for very sweet lemonade, I like mine a little tart! I’ve skipped using sugar in this lemonade by using honey, and it works great too!

If you like your lemonade sweet, then simply use simple syrup (equal parts of sugar and water). In this case, you could take 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1/2 cup water. Add this to the freshly squeezed lemon juice, add in the berry juice and add 1 & 1/2 cups of water.

Whichever way you prefer, I’m sure this will help you beat the summer heat and cool you down:)

    It certainly looks refreshing, as well as being a delightful colour. I imagine several berry-types would be OK for this one? We have freezer full of raspberries, blackberries and red and blackcurrants from our garden last year. Unfortunately, we have a bit of a wait before the hot weather arrives in the UK (if it ever does!) but I’ll give this a go then. The honey idea sounds good as I don’t like over-sweet drinks, either. 🙂

    What a beautiful and refreshing drink, especially after today when our temps hit 80deg the early part of March….Most unusual. Love the color and the vibrancy of the drink.

    Wow, we are definitely on the same page this week, Freda! I spent a good portion of the day today photographing Strawberry Lemonade. I love your berry lemonade. Don’t the berries just add the best flavor? It is so pretty, too. I will have to try blackberries next time.

        Well Freda I am blessed having lived on the Atlantic Ocean my entire life, when we married my Father found this place and made the owners an offer they could not refuse! It is 35 miles south of where I was raised. Since then (12 years ago) the family increased additions made, renovations, etc. Father paid back…Life is good. On the land was already bananas and coconuts and several lemon herb trees we added to it. I started a garden that is now over one acre and my herbs. My kitty cat stays inside the home and I can not have any plants in the home so we built a huge screened-in porch for them and my herbs (in large pots). It just sort of evolved over the years. x

    Oh my goodness, that looks so refreshing Freda! Here in the U.S. I woke up to a dusting of snow, so it might be a while before I try to make this delicious drink. 🙂 Summer and heat is many months away.

    This is lovely. I do one with maqui berries, beet, ginger and lemon. I like to blend the whole lemon in my lemonades. A friend and I were doing a competition and I had to outdo him and this was what I came up with. <3
