Boozy Blackberry Lemonade
Boozy Blackberry Lemonade, a homemade spiked lemonade made with fresh summer berries and tart lemons. Perfect for hot summer afternoons!
Ingredients
- ½ cup blackberries
- 3 sprigs fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon sweetener agave, maple, simple syrup, etc.
- 1.5 ounces vodka or bourbon
- ½ cup ice cubes
- Garnish: blackberries, mint, lemon slices
Instructions
- Muddle fruit: In a large glass or cocktail mixer, muddle blackberries, sweetener of choice, and fresh mint until the blackberries are smashed and release their juice and the mint releases its oils (you will smell the mint when this happens).
- Build lemonade cocktail: Add alcohol of your choice and lemon juice to the cocktail mixer. Cover and shake well until the ingredients are well combined.
- Garnish and serve drink: Pour ice into two glasses and then strain the cocktail into the glasses. Garnish with a blackberry, a mint leaf, and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
Notes
- Which alcohol should you choose? We love boozy lemonades with vodka, but bourbon is also another great liquor choice that will add a southern flair to your spiked lemonade.
- Make it a mocktail: Avoiding alcohol? Skip the liquor in this recipe and instead add 1/2 cup of water to dilute the lemon juice to make this a simple lemonade mocktail.
- Nutrition notes: Nutrition information was calculated with simple syrup as the sweetener, and without garnishes.
