Tips for Blue Raspberry Lemonade

– One helpful tip is to chill all your ingredients before mixing. Cold water and cold lemon juice mean less ice is needed, which keeps the flavor strong instead of watered down.

– If you are short on time, bottled lemon juice works just fine. Just make sure it is 100 percent lemon juice without extra flavors. For an even faster version, you can use a blue raspberry lemonade drink mix that already includes lemon flavor.

– Another great shortcut is to make a blue raspberry lemonade concentrate. Mix lemon juice and blue raspberry syrup together and store it in the fridge. When you want a drink, just add water and ice.

– For parties, make ice cubes using Blue Raspberry Lemonade instead of plain water. That way, when the ice melts, the drink stays flavorful and bright.
