A delightful twist on classic lemonade, combining the tangy flavors of lemon with the sweetness of mixed berries.
Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Stir continuously to avoid burning the sugar.
In a blender, puree the mixed berries until smooth.
For a smoother texture, strain the berry puree to remove seeds.
In a pitcher, combine the simple syrup, berry puree, remaining water, and lemon juice. Stir well.
Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or serve immediately over ice.
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a few whole berries for a decorative touch.
