What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 4 cups fresh lemonade
- 3 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup ice cubes
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Make Blueberry Syrup
Combine blueberries sugar and half a cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes until blueberries burst and the syrup turns deep purple. Strain and cool completely.
Step 2: Assemble Punch
Pour the cooled blueberry syrup into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Add the fresh lemonade and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Step 3: Add Sparkle and Serve
Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water and stir gently. Add ice and serve in glasses, stirring the pitcher before each pour as layers may separate.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- fresh blueberries → frozen blueberries which work just as well for making the syrup
- sparkling water → club soda or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter carbonated version
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Not cooling the blueberry syrup completely before adding it which dilutes the ice and warms the punch
- Skipping the straining step which leaves blueberry skins in the punch creating an unpleasant texture
