Print Recipe

A bright, bubbly lemonade punch combining fresh lemon juice, homemade berry syrup, and sparkling water, perfect for summer parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (organic cane sugar preferred)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 medium lemons; Meyer lemons optional)
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 3 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Ice cubes or frozen lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Make the Berry Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed berries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Simmer gently over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until berries soften and sugar dissolves. Let cool.
  2. Strain the Syrup: Pour syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing berries gently to extract juice. Discard solids.
  3. Juice the Lemons: Roll lemons on counter, cut and juice until you have 1 cup fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds.
  4. Mix the Lemonade Base: In a pitcher, combine lemon juice, 3 cups cold water, and 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup if using. Stir until dissolved.
  5. Add the Berry Syrup: Pour cooled berry syrup into the lemonade base and stir gently. Adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
  6. Chill the Punch: Refrigerate mixture for about 30 minutes to meld flavors and cool.
  7. Finish with Sparkling Water: Just before serving, add 3 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently to preserve fizz.
  8. Serve: Pour punch over ice or frozen lemon slices and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use cold sparkling water added last to keep fizz. Frozen lemon slices chill without watering down punch. Clap mint leaves before adding to release aroma. Make berry syrup and lemonade base a day ahead for better flavor and add sparkling water just before serving.
