Fresh Blueberry Lavender Lemonade Recipe

This post is brought to you by Torani. All opinions are my own.

Spring is in the air! As soon as those warmer temperatures hit and those flowers begin to bloom, I am all in on spring. Here, spring only lasts a few weeks before our extended summer begins, so I like to enjoy the flowers and fresh air as often as I can with trips to the park, walks around the neighborhood, and even picnics- with fresh lemonade, of course!

Lemonade is such a great way to make a picnic feel really special, but it’s great even at home. Especially when you have the best secret ingredient there is- Torani Puremade Syrups! A soda shop near my new house uses Torani syrups to flavor all kinds of sodas and I thought it would be fun to do the same with the lemonade that I enjoy so often this time of year. With so many different Torani Puremade Syrup flavors to choose from, I have plenty of options to last me through spring and summer!

With it being the season of flowers, I opted for a floral beverage for my first take on flavored Lemonade with some spring flavors. I made this Blueberry Lavender Lemonade for a sweet pick-me-up yesterday afternoon and it was so good, I’m already going to make it again today! Luckily, the drink recipe is super easy to make so I can have it anytime I want!

Blueberry Lavender Lemonade

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup hot water
• 1 TBSP granulated sugar
• ¾ cup cold water
• 3 TBSP Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice {about 2 lemons}
• 1 TBSP Torani Puremade Blueberry Syrup
• 1 TBSP Torani Puremade Lavender Syrup
• Optional Garnish: Fresh Blueberries and a Lemon Slice
• Ice to preference

Directions:

• Dissolve sugar in ¼ cup hot water. Add to drinking glass.
• Add cold water and fresh lemon juice and stir well.
• Add Torani Puremade Blueberry Syrup, followed by Torani Puremade Lavender Syrup. Mix if desired, but if you don’t it makes a pretty cool layering effect!
• Add ice as desired and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon slice. Enjoy!

This recipe is so simple to make and only takes a few minutes. I really enjoyed the fresh taste of this recipe since citrus is really at it’s peak right now! That said, the Torani Puremade Syrup is really the star of this show so you could make this recipe even faster with premade lemonade from the store. Just don’t substitute the Torani Puremade Syrup- it’s made with no artificial flavors, is GMO free and uses colors from natural sources and the flavor just can’t be beat!

This recipe was such a huge hit with my whole family that this spring and summer, I’m going to be reserving a portion of my coffee bar to use as a lemonade bar! We’ll be buying even more Torani syrup flavors so my kids can customize their lemonade in all kinds of fun ways, perfect for keeping us cool in the hot sun.

You can find Torani Puremade Syrup in a wide variety of flavors online here!
