Cool down with this vibrant refresher made with tangy fresh-squeezed lemonade, muddled blackberries, and a hint of garden-fresh mint. Lightly sweetened and poured over ice, it’s the perfect balance of tart, sweet, and refreshing—finished with a sprig of mint garnish for a crisp, invigorating sip in every glass.
We have been in the upper 90s the past few weeks and our blackberries and mint were coming on strong. I’ve seen The Sassy Barn make these drinks and thought it was such a good idea! Using fresh ingredients that are in season, it makes it an easy and delicious spin on plain water. It is so simple. I hope you try it.
