Ingredients in Blueberry Mint Lemonade

How to Make Blueberry Mint Lemonade
This mint lemonade recipe uses a blueberry maple simple syrup instead of a plain old sugar water type.
If you're making a special drink, it's got to be a little out of the ordinary, don't you think??
Step 1: Combine the blueberries, mint, maple syrup, honey, and one quarter cup water in a small saucepan set over medium heat.
Simmer until the mixture is heated through and starts to thicken, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Gently press the blueberries with a wooden spoon to release juices.
Remove from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to separate the solids.
Reserve remaining liquid syrup and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Add a half cup fresh lemon juice and remaining water to a large pitcher. Add blueberry maple simple syrup, to taste, and stir to combine.
Step 3: We're just about there! Fill 4 glasses with ice and fill each ⅔ full with the blueberry lemonade mixture.
Top off each glass with some club soda and garnish with sprigs of fresh mint, blueberries, and/or lemon wedges, if desired - and I think they are.
By the way, if you're serving blueberry lemonade at your 4th of July party or at your Memorial Day cookout, we love these stemless wine glasses. Your guests enjoy a refreshing summer drink and there's no worries about party fouls, i.e. shattered glass.
Cheers!

I love this! I want to make this for a baby shower I’m throwing. I’m thinking of quadrupling or even quintupling the recipe and putting it in beverage dispenser. I know I should add the club soda at the very last second, but besides do you know if the recipe doubles, triples, etc. well or should I modify the amount of any of the ingredients when making a large batch? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Hi Kristen, that sounds perfect for a baby shower! I've doubled but not tripled it. You might be able to cut back on the simple syrup mixture you make. If it were me I'd just x4 or x5 it as is. Some frozen blueberries would help keep guests drinks cool, you could always have those as an additional garnish. Enjoy the baby shower, sounds fun!!! 🙂
