Four glass mugs of sweet blueberry lemonade with ice on a tray for a party.Pin

Ice cold Blueberry Lemonade captures Summer in every sip. This tasty summer drink can be made in minutes with homemade blueberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and sweet honey.

The combination of berry and lemon is so refreshing. You can make a pitcher, or serve in cute mason jars with handles, and garnish with berrys or mint...

How long does blueberry syrup last?


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

What goes well with lemonade?


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

You can also enjoy lemonade with desserts like cookies or ice box pies, or with a birthday cake.

On a hot summer day, add plenty of ice, and top off the lemonade with the fizz of a clear soda.

    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!
