Excellent. Very fresh and perfectly sweet. Also good in a Blackberry Lemonade Martini which I am enjoying right now!
Great summer beverage. I made the original recipe; later I was too lazy to make simple syrup and squeeze lemons, so the next two times I made it, I mixed with organic bottled lemonade. The first iteration I used 1 T of sugar instead of 2 and it was a tad sweet for my taste. The second time I did not add any sugar, just poured the bottled lemonade through the pulp. It was just right!
I made the recipe but added some lime juice to the lemon juice. It was very good.
Delicious and easy to make! Drank it all while making blackberry jam!
I and my family loved it
Made as directed, delicious and refreshing. Will make again. Thank you for the recipe. June/2020
“This Blackberry Lemonade is so good and I wish I had found this earlier!”
I will make it again. This gave me ideas
VERY DELICIOUS, but waaay too many calories & carbs per serving. Personally, I’d rather eat my calories, rather than drink them.
