Blueberry Lemonade Sprite – A Refreshing Summer Drink
Sprite Blueberry Lemonade is a refreshing summer drink combining the fizz of Sprite with the sweetness of blueberries and the tang of lemonade. Perfect for sunny days and summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¾ cup sugar or honey for a natural option
- 1 cup water
- 1 twelve-ounce can of thawed lemonade concentrate
- 1 liter Sprite
- 2 cups cold water
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat, stirring until dissolved. Add blueberries and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until the blueberries break down into a liquid form. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and let cool.
- Prepare the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, mix thawed lemonade concentrate with cold water. Stir well to combine. Gradually add Sprite to preserve its fizziness.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour ¼ cup of blueberry syrup into each glass. Top with the lemonade-Sprite mixture and gently stir. Garnish with mint leaves, lemon slices, and fresh blueberries before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, replace sugar with honey or stevia. Use Diet Sprite or zero-sugar lemonade concentrate for reduced calories.
- Substitute blueberries with strawberries or raspberries for a different fruity twist. Add vodka or prosecco for an adult cocktail version.
