Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade
Cool down this summer with the ultimate blueberry lemonade! Homemade blueberry syrup mixed with refreshing lemonade, topped off with some bubbly club soda!
Lemonade is super refreshing, and even more so when it’s cool, thirst-quenching blueberry lemonade! Impress your guests or family with this easy to make drink!
I hope you guys aren’t sick of refreshing summer drink recipes… because this one is one of my favorites! My daughter affectionately calls this the “pink drink” lol. It’s cool, refreshing, bubbly, and definitely guaranteed to quench your thirst.
I love the sweet homemade blueberry simple syrup (plus the fun pink/purple color it gives the drink), mixed with the tangy tartness of the lemonade, and the bubbly fizz from the club soda… it’s the perfect combination!
This blueberry lemonade is so perfect for summer entertaining! Imagine you and your guests, sitting and soaking up the sun while holding an ice cold glass of this lemonade.
Now you can serve this blueberry lemonade two ways. You can pour the blueberry simple syrup into the lemonade pitcher and mix it all together. Then just pour into individual serving glasses and garnish with a few blueberries, slices of lemon and sprig of mint.
Or, you could serve it like I did…
Just add some ice to a glass, pour a bit of the blueberry simple syrup over the ice, add blueberries, then slowly pour in lemonade and top with a splash of club soda. Garnish and enjoy!
Either way you’ll end up with a beautiful drink that tastes every bit as amazing as it looks!

I hope you guys give this lemonade a try… it actually uses a similar method to make the simple syrup as the twizzlers strawberry lemonade. Super easy, yet super delicious!

Notes
If changing the recipe serving quantity, the recipe plugin will change the ingredient values for you, but it does NOT change the written instructions, those are manually added and not subject to a slider/button. You will have to extrapolate that multiplication to any amounts listed in the instructions.
For example: if an ingredient calls for 4 cups, and you doubled the recipe, it will automatically change to 8 cups. In the instructions, if I say “use 4 cups of cheese”, you will have to realize that since you doubled it, you use 8 cups, not 4
Hi this looks delicious. I plan on making this for a baby shower. I have about 15 people coming should I do the recipe x6?? Also, what could I add to this to make it alcoholic??
Hi Carrie 🙂 As written, this recipe makes about 8-9 cups. You could add some vodka to this, the amount is totally up to you and your guests, since it wouldn’t add any flavor, just the boozy kick 🙂 For 15 people, I’d plan on people having at least 2 drinks, so that’s 30 servings. I would 4x-6x the recipe just to be safe.
Did I miss something? Did you buy pink lemonade or how did you make it pink?
Hi Julia, I explained in the post itself that the blueberry syrup is what makes the drink have the pink color (purple syrup mixed with lemonade is what makes it pink instead of purple).
Thank you for sharing. This looks amazing.
I’d love to make this for a baby shower. How many recipes should I make to fill a 2-3 gallon drink dispenser?
Hi Jessica 🙂 I would double this recipe to make about a gallon. So for a 2-3 gallon jug, I’d 4-6x the recipe.
Thank you! Are frozen blueberries going to change the taste of the finished product too much if I use them for the syrup?
It shouldn’t 🙂 Frozen berries are great substitute in the off-season months!
I would have never thought to add fizzy water to my lemonade or add blueberries (I’ve had strawberry and rasberry before). Yummy idea! Is it ok I added this to my Foodie Friday Roundup: Delicious Lemonades? It’s set to go live Friday morning. Thanks!!!
These are exactly the type of cocktails that I crave during the summer. So fresh and clean I want one now!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Wow! i want to be sipping on this today! It is so hot here that would be so refreshing!
This looks amazing! Such a fancy appearance and you cannot go wrong with the blueberry/lemon combo!
How gorgeous are those photos!! Looks so light and refreshing…pinned for later! Hope you have a great day! Christine
Thanks so much Christine!! 😀
This is beautiful and sounds so refreshing!
I love the looks of this cocktail! The color, The bubbles. The lemon slices. The blueberries that look like they’re suspended. Nice job! It looks delicious!
This is absolutely sensational!!! I would drink this all summer long.
Is it even possible to get sick of summer cocktails? I think not! This one looks perfectly refreshing and I love your gif!
This is the prettiest lemonade I ever did see! Can’t wait to try it!
