Blue Raspberry Lemonade – Drinks and Smoothie Recipes

Blue Raspberry Lemonade is the kind of drink that makes you feel like a kid again, just with less Kool-Aid and more 'wow'. It brings back the best kind of summer memories, the kind where you’re barefoot on warm pavement, holding a plastic cup that’s sweating in your hand, and trying not to spill a drop while chasing the ice cream truck. In this version, we’re giving lemonade a bold little twist with blue raspberry flavor—the kind that practically glows. The color? Eye-catching. The flavor? Sweet, tart, and totally refreshing. This is the kind of drink you make when you want to impress without trying too hard. Perfect for cookouts, July 4th, or just because you feel like drinking something blue and beautiful. It also happens to be a fun little nod to recipes and drinks that go full red, white, and blue mode during summer parties. And sure, it isn’t a smoothie, but it fits right in with smoothie recipes and Easy Smoothie Recipes you love when you're craving something cold, fruity, and fast. If you’re into red white and blue jello shots, you’ll get the appeal of this in one sip. Simple. Sweet. And completely nostalgic.
