Serves 6

Ingredients

Fresh blackberries
2 cups
Fresh limes
4, juiced
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
Water
4 cups
Fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup, plus extra for garnish
Ice
as needed

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the blackberries, lime juice, 2 cups of water, and sugar. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, using a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible while discarding the seeds and pulp.
  3. Add the remaining 2 cups of water to the strained blackberry-lime mixture and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
  4. Chill the blackberry limeade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve the limeade over ice in glasses, and garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra refreshing kick, muddle a few mint leaves at the bottom of the glass before pouring in the limeade.
  • 💡 You can replace some of the water with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
  • 💡 This limeade can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
