So here’s a crazy story: I didn’t have raspberry lemonade until I was in high school. WHAT!? You’re telling me I was missing out on the greatest version of lemonade (a.k.a. raspberry lemonade) my whole childhood?
That’s right!
We always had regular lemonade when I was a kid, and sometimes, only sometimes, we would have the pink lemonade. Raspberry lemonade wasn’t even in the picture.
If I was going to have a fruity lemonade, it would be strawberry. I’ve always claimed strawberries to be one of my favorite fruits, so naturally, why stray far from what you know?
But when my cousin showed up with raspberry lemonade, my curiosity took over. Luckily, it didn’t kill this cat, but opened my eyes to a whole new world of flavor possibilities! It’s been my favorite lemonade ever since.
This recipe uses the Lemonade and Ripe Raspberry Ninja Thirsti flavors as well as a special ingredient to make it your new summer staple.
Make sure you’re sitting down for this next part. I’m about to let you in on a little secret. Are you ready?
The special ingredient is…
(pause for effect)
Fresh raspberries!
I know, you probably already guessed it, but it’s that simple. Without the raspberries, you don’t get that beautiful color. We smashed ours to help brighten up the drink and spread the flavor even faster.
Also, don’t forget the garnish!
A lemon wheel does perfectly here. Place one on the rim and show all of your friends you mean business!
