It’s raspberry season in my neighborhood and I’m loving it!!
What you need:
- Juice of one lemon (I like meyer)
- 1/8 cup raspberry syrup (See below)
- cold water
- ice
- extra sugar to taste
How to Do it:
Pour the lemon juice in the bottom of a 16oz glass. Add the raspberry syrup. Fill the glass with ice then top with cold water. Stir gently. If you like sweeter lemonade, add some extra sugar. Garnish with raspberries and lemon balm (or mint)
Makes one glass
Rasberry Syrup –

Mmm!! This looks so good, and so refreshing :) Definitely a recipe that I would love to try :)
Hi Helen! The raspberry lemonade looks wonderful and I would love to try it, but I get an error message when I click the recipe link (I’ve tried on my phone & desktop). Is there a way you could put the recipe in the post? Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up Julie – I didn’t put a link in there – I copied a reply – oops. It’s been a wild week. Again – thanks so much for letting me know! It’s fixed now!
Thank you! I will definitely be making this tomorrow!
Hi Helen,
My husband and I love lemonade. We’re going on a cruise soon. They have great lemonade there.
Thanks for bringing your post to the Pit Stop last week.

Thanks for stopping by!
I looooooooooove raspberry and I’m jealous as we don’t have here fresh one.
I think I could make the raspberry syrup from frozen ones, right?
Yes you can – just check the sugar content and add sugar accordingly. I freeze lots of berries just so I have them on hand for things like this when they go out of season!
Oh my gosh this looks so delicious! Going to have to try this out this summer… thanks for sharing at #FridayFrivolity! Pinning and tweeting. :)
Thanks Sarah – and you can save the syrup in your refrigerator for ice cream!
