Thirsty? I’ve got just the recipe to quench your thirst in this hot summer heat.
Blueberry smash sparkling lemonade – it doesn’t sound like much but this fruity drink is perfect for those hot summer afternoons when you’re craving something more than just water. The best part about this recipe? You can turn it into a cocktail by adding rum or your favourite gin if you prefer.
Most of the ingredients will already be in your fridge so there’s no need to run to the grocery store. If you’ve got lemons, you can easily make the lemonade yourself – or buy a jug from your local grocery store. You can also swap out some of these ingredients like the sparkling water for club soda or tonic water. You can even venture further from blueberries and add in your favourite fruit such as raspberries, strawberries or blackberries – even adding all three together would make for a delicious berry drink.
To get started though, here’s what you’ll need to make this refreshing drink.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 bottle of Perrier
- 1 bottle of Lemonade (or make it yourself)
