    How long does blueberry syrup last?


    Blueberry syrup will last chilled in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container or jar.

    Classic lemonade is great for picnics and parties. Serve it with grilled burgers, hot dogs, and some side salads like pasta or potato salad.

      This is so summery it's absolute heaven. Plus, it doubles as a summery cocktail if you spike it with a bit of vodka. It's like that dress that goes from daytime to nighttime!
