Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes
Lemon slices and fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.
In a large pitcher, combine the berry puree with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Slowly add the sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling berry lemonade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves before serving.
Notes
For a lower-sugar version, substitute the granulated sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or erythritol.
Add a splash of vodka or gin for an adult version of this refreshing drink.
