Blackberry Limeade

 

It's never too early to think of a sweet refreshing glass of Blackberry Limeade. Memorial Day will be here before you know it and this Blackberry Limeade will make a perfect Memorial Day drink recipe. Nothing says summer is on it's way better than a glass of homemade limeade or homemade lemonade.

 

You could also use this same recipe to make a Blackberry Lemonade if you prefer lemons over limes.

This Blackberry Limeade is made with fresh squeezed lime juice and fresh blackberries that I had in the freezer. I was so excited when I found fresh blackberries that had been grown if Florida at Publix that I bought about 8 quarts. 

We ate a few of those sweet blackberries right from the container and I stashed some in the freezer. 

 

I bought a huge bag of limes at Sam's Club when I made my Strawberry Mojitos. I also made Blueberry Mojitos but that recipe isn't on the blog yet.

 

The leftover limes where in a bowl on the counter and I needed to use them before they went bad so I squeezed them all and put the juice in a mason jar in the refrigerator. I topped off a few glasses of iced tea with some of the lime juice.

 

While I was trying to figure out what I could make with the lime juice I remembered I had those frozen blackberries in the freezer. A lightbulb went off and here we have this Blackberry Limeade recipe.

 

The method to make a flavored limeade, flavored lemonade,  flavored iced tea and even homemade soda is the same. You start with a fresh or frozen fruit like these blackberries and you make a simple syrup. A simple syrup is simple to make as the name suggests.

How to make Blackberry Simple Syrup

Ingredients

  • 2 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

  • Put all the ingredients  into a medium sized saucepan.
  • Heat on low until the sugar dissolves. 
  • Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil stirring occasionally so the sugar doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes, occasionally stirring and mashing the blackberries with the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and cool.

Now that you have your blackberry simple syrup made you can use it to flavor any drink you like.

Sugar-Free Blackberry Simple Syrup

You can also make a sugar free version using Splenda.

I made a sugar free blackberry simple syrup just to see how it would turn out using Splenda. I gave up soda almost a year ago and have been drinking unsweetened tea instead. I used the sugar-free blackberry simple syrup in my sweet tea and it tasted great.

Use the directions as above but reduce the simmering time to 5 minutes.
