    Muddled Raspberry Lemonade Recipe

    This delicious, summery recipe for Muddled Raspberry Lemonade is so quick and easy to make! All you need to make this simple 3-ingredient fruity lemonade recipe is some fresh fruit and your choice of sweetener, which you can also leave out to make this drink added sugar-free!

    Doesn’t the name Muddled Raspberry Lemonade just scream summer?!  

    Even if it isn’t technically summer, it is certainly hot in the streets here in CA. I struggle to get in my 20 gallons of water a day (or however much “they” say we’re supposed to drink).

    But I love fruit-infused waters. What I love about these is that you can easily add more fruit to make it more like traditional lemonade.

    Why You’ll Love It

    Adding fresh fruits (or even herbs) to drinks is a great way to add tons more flavor without any more work.

    You can keep things from getting boring by mixing up what types of fruits you use. And it’s SO refreshing to sip on one of these infused fruit waters when the days are hot.

    You’ve heard of spa water? Well, this is a similar idea. The longer you leave the fruit to sit in the water, the more bold the flavor will be.

    If you love this idea, you should also check out: Tangerine Basil Water and Ginger “Limeade”. And for happy hour, try Infused Wine.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for Muddled Raspberry Meyer lemon Lemonade on a wooden board.

    I am obsessed with Meyer lemons and am so lucky that my parents have a Meyer lemon tree. If I could bottle up that smell and wear it as a perfume I would probably do it. And who doesn’t like raspberries?!

    Of course, if you don’t have Meyer lemons you can use regular lemons, but you might want to add a little more sweetener.

    I don’t even bother to add a sweetener to mine because I like them really tart. But it is totally up to you. I love to use agave syrup when making cocktails or beverages because it dissolves way easier than sugar. And because most of the time I am too lazy to make simple syrup.

    I will also note that this won’t taste like traditional lemonade. It’s more just lemon-kissed. And the sweetener is added for ease of drinking.

    Equipment

    Meyer lemon slices and raspberries on a black and white plate.

    My muddlers are one of my favorite bar tools, ever. If you don’t have one, get one. Yes, I’m bossy. But I use it for drink stuff like this but it is also much handier for chopping up nuts, etc. A rolling pin can be so big for a job like that. But these are easy to control and store.

    Directions

    Water being poured over ice in a jar of muddled fruit.

    Muddle the fruit together in the bottom of a glass or jar. Then, you just top the muddled fruit off with water and ice and give it a little stir. Super easy. And super delicious!

    I promise you will be drinking these all summer. And probably even in the winter.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I add other fruits to this recipe?

    Yes! Blackberries would be super yummy instead of raspberries. Strawberries would also work but be sure to hull and quarter them before muddling with the lemon.

    Help! I can’t find any Meyer lemons.

    Don’t worry, regular lemons will work in this recipe but you may want to add a little more sweetener to taste.

    Can I turn this into a hard lemonade?

    As this is more of an infused water it might not work as a cocktail, but why not try my Ginger Tequila Lemonade recipe instead?
