Raspberry Lemonade
With swimsuit season in full swing and after stuffing my face last week on vacation with all the goodies, especially the delicious Strawberry Upside Down Cake.
I decided to make a refreshing Raspberry Lemonade that is made with fresh raspberries, freshly squeezed lemons and the zero calorie sweetener, Sweet’N Low.
And after a fun day on the boat, I love enjoying a large glass of this guilt free lemonade.
This homemade lemonade is so simple to make, all you need is Sweet’N Low, fresh raspberries, about 6 lemons to squeeze fresh lemon juice, water, and ice cubes. Dissolve the Sweet’N Low and water in a saucepan for about 2-3 minutes, mix in the pureed raspberries and lemon juice. Add the raspberry lemon mixture to a large pitcher of fresh cold water, and top with ice cubes.
Pour yourself a glass and top with a couple extra raspberries and a lemon slice, oh and a cute straw is a must. Enjoy!

I would add lemon vodka, raspberry vodka. Umm..I would add about 2 oz. of vodka. Cheers!
I’ve just tried out this recipe and it’s amazing I also love the colours and the awesome taste
Hi Jenn, I loved your recipe and have included it in a lemonade round up on BuzzFeed. Do take a look and show some love 🙂 https://www.buzzfeed.com/manjumahadevan/21-incredibly-refreshing-lemonades-you-need-to-dri-1ykl9

Thanks for sharing, Manju! 🙂
I’m glad that you have sponsors, but in the nutritional world, we call the little pink sweet n low packs, “death packs”. Splenda isn’t great, but it is a bit better than “Sweet n Low”. Regular sugar or a natural cane sugar substitute would be a better choice. Aside from the nutritional info, the raspberry lemonade looks wonderful and I will definitely be giving it a try, for my next get together.
Hey, I’m from Germany and have never heard of something called “Sweet’n Low” but would really love to try your recipe. What is that stuff? What would you substitute it with, in case I can’t get my hands onto that stuff. Thanks in advance, Frannie

You can just use regular granulated sugar instead of Sweet’N Low.
This looks delicious! I’m not even a huge fan of blueberries, but I really can’t wait to try out this recipe. I just started making my own fresh lemonade last summer, so this will be a nice addition.
I Love fruity lemonades! This is so bright and beautiful! Aren’t raspberries amazing?
This looks so refreshing! I love how simple and easy this recipe is. And made with all the fresh lemon juice and raspberries! Lemon + raspberry is definitely my favorite lemonade combination, so I will totally have to try this. 🙂

Jenn I agree, a paper straw is a must! I have a whole paper straw collection that I use as blog props, but unfortunately that means I never actually get to drink out of them!
So pretty!
This looks delicious! Love lemonades, especially fruity lemonades! What a fun summertime drink.
