We’ve reached the point of the summer where my garden is overrun with blackberries. No, really! They grow as fast as weeds, and I can barely keep up with them. Not a bad problem to have—especially since picking berries with my daughter is absolutely delightful—but every year I run into the same problem: What do I do with 20 to 30 pints of blackberries?!
Last year, I developed a blackberry lemonade cocktail that knocked my socks off. And today, I’m excited to share it with you. Remember the hard lemonade you drank when you just started drinking? Well, this kicks it up a notch into a fun summer drink that anyone of any (legal) age can enjoy.
I love how versatile this recipe is! It’s great with vodka, but if you have children or non-drinkers you need to serve as well, the lemonade without alcohol is also divine. If you’re serving it for brunch, you can easily add a splash of the blackberry lemonade to Champagne for a seasonal take on the mimosa! – xo, Maddy
