Cool down with the ultimate blueberry lemonade!  Homemade blueberry syrup mixed with refreshing lemonade, topped off with some bubbly club soda!

This is one of my Drink recipes I know you’ll want to keep on hand!

Summer may be officially over, but I like to serve summery drinks year round! They’re cool, bubbly, and fun to drink. 

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 entertaining!  Imagine you and your guests, having fun while holding an ice cold glass of this lemonade.

Since it’s non-alcoholic, the kids can enjoy it too! My daughter always referred to this as “the pink drink” when she was younger.

How to make sparkling blueberry lemonade?

This is just an overview; the full ingredients and directions are in the recipe card toward the bottom of this post.

step by step how to make blueberry simple syrup
  1. Heat water and sugar. Over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add blueberries.
  3. Boil. Boil for about 5 minutes, until blueberries are breaking down.
  4. Strain. A fine mesh sieve is great for this. Let cool.
step by step how to make blueberry lemonade
  1. Add concentrate.
  2. Pour in club soda. Add soda and water, being careful that the pitcher doesn’t overflow from the fizz.
  3. Chill. Cover and chill for a few hours, or until cold.
  4. Add syrup to glass. Fill it up about 1/4 of the way.
  5. Add ice and lemonade.
  6. Add club soda. Just a splash to top it off.
  7. Garnish. If desired, add a lemon slice, a couple of blueberries and a sprig of mint.

Helpful Tip!

Garnishes are always optional, but with drinks they add such a fun and bar/restaurant-style look!

Variations of this recipe

  • From scratch – I usually make this with lemonade concentrate, or a bottle of pre-made lemonade, to make this drink even easier… but if you want to make the lemonade from scratch, the full directions for that are below the recipe in the “Chef Tips” section.
  • Frozen blueberries – we pretty much always have fresh blueberries on hand (our son is obsessed with berries), but in case you don’t have any, frozen blueberries will also work.
  • Other sparkling options – instead of club soda, feel free to use seltzer, sparkling water, or even lemon lime soda (although this will make the lemonade pretty sweet).
  • Alcohol – if you wanted to add a splash of clear liquor, I certainly won’t stop you! Vodka, silver or white rum, or tequila are great options. To add fizz and alcohol, try some champagne or prosecco!

FAQ’s

Can this lemonade be made with other fruits?

Yes! You can take the method of making the blueberry simple syrup and use any of your favorite, or seasonal fruits, to make a flavored syrup. Strawberries and raspberries are two of our favorites!

How to serve sparkling blueberry lemonade?

You can serve this blueberry lemonade two ways. Both are equally delicious, it just comes down to how you want the drink to look.

  1. 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.
  2. Or you can go for the ombre look, like I did in these photos. Just fill a glass about 1/4 of the way full with blueberry simple syrup, add some ice to a glass, then slowly pour in lemonade, top with a splash of club soda, and garnish with blueberries, slices of lemon, and a sprig of mint.  

Making blueberry lemonade ahead of time

While I don’t recommend making the whole pitcher ahead of time, you can absolutely make the simple syrup ahead.

Just store it in the refrigerator, covered, for up to a week.

Storage

Leftover lemonade should be covered and stored in the refrigerator. Drink it within a week for the best flavor.

The club soda will go flat, so when you serve it, just add a splash of new club soda to each glass.

    I can’t find the amounts of the ingredients anywhere! It’s very hard to make something with out the measurements, because it always tastes different and not always to your liking! Please fix this and give us the measurements. Thanks regards
