My daughter made this the other night and it was good. We thought the ratios were a bit off, so added a bit more fresh-squeezed lemon juice (~3 Tbsp) and a bit more sugar (~1 Tbsp). -
I used beautiful sweet raspberries that I picked in my yard last summer. They were wonderful in this tart lemonade. Added extra sugar and it was perfect. I really enjoyed the big, bold, raw flavor of the lemonade, you could taste both the raspberries and the lemons. We thought it was perfection served over ice. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will make often. Made for Pac Spring Safari 2013. -
We were disappointed with how sour and strong this lemonade turned out to be. The ratio is usually 1 c. lemon juice to 4 c. water so I added more water and we like it a little better. Still very sour though and I like my lemonade more on the sour side than on the sweet. Maybe if the raspberries had been sweeter...

I live in Illinois with my husband and we both love to try new things. He's definitely a better cook than I am, but I try to keep up. We have three dogs but no kids as of yet. Maybe in the next year or two we will start thinking about children but for now we are enjoying our time together. I love making up drinks and desserts and i'm not too bad at baking.
