There are several recipes online for Blackberry Lemonade, but I didn’t really like any of them. This is a quick and easy way to add something new to plain lemonade. You could make your own lemonade, the old fashioned way, but this calls for something with a little more speed and a little less squeeze. This would also be great with pink or berry flavored lemonade mixes. I used some from the Farmer’s Market that were still good but a little mushy, so this is perfect for berries that might be a little unappealing to eat.
1 package instant lemonade mix (i.e. Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, Country Time)
1 quart fresh blackberries, about 2 cups
Prepare lemonade according to packaged directions (use sugar if called for). Combine 1 cup prepared lemonade and blackberries in a blender. Pulse until smooth.
Pour blackberry mixture through a strainer and into lemonade. Discard solids. Stir lemonade well. Chill or serve over ice.
