Notes
- Use ripe raspberries: Ripe berries give the lemonade a brighter color and smoother flavor without extra sweetness.
- Blend first, then dilute: Blending the raspberries, honey, and mint first helps evenly distribute flavor before adding the lemon juice and water.
- Taste and adjust: Lemon acidity can vary, so taste the lemonade after mixing and adjust with more honey or water as needed.
- Chill before serving: Letting the pink lemonade chill for at least an hour allows the flavors to mellow and blend.
- Stir before pouring: The raspberry puree can settle as it sits, so give the lemonade a quick stir before serving.
