Mixed Berry Lemonade (Virgin)

By Lauren Rose Correa, January 11, 2025

For my daughter’s first birthday party this past summer, I followed a recipe for strawberry lemonade and served mixed berries as a side dish. The theme of the party was strawberries, her favorite fruit, and the perfect theme for a first birthday. I even lucked out and scored some free strawberry decorations from someone else who had done a similar theme. After the party, the mixed berries were a bit mushy and had formed a syrup. I was inspired to alter the recipe I tried to create my own mixed berry lemonade.

This mixed berry lemonade features a refreshing blend of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It’s super sweet with the familiar lemon tag. The result is a refreshing virgin beverage that’s perfect for a party or to serve yourself on a warm summer day.

I’m not usually interested in super sweet drinks, but this beverage really is on the sweeter side. You can add a bit more or less sugar to get the level of sweetness that you desire! If you choose to experiment with this recipes, please share your results in the comments below!
