Blackberry pear lemonade is on my favorites list because it’s super easy but classy enough to serve anywhere. I make it with fresh lemon juice, a can of pears(no sugar added), and a fresh pear cut up in slices as garnish. I also mix in 5-6 leaves of fresh crushed mint 🍃 and it leaves a little minty pop of flavor at the end of each sip. So yummy.

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can add or subtract sugar to taste, making it more or less sweet. I like to add less water and more ice, so the flavor is a little stronger at the beginning of the pitcher.

VANILLA. It lifts those gorgeous lemony flavors to new heights. I also put vanilla in my Creamy Brazilian Limeade, another lovely family friendly drink.

Pro Tip:

Sugar the top edges of each glass for a little extra sweetness and elegance.

Dip the top of each glass in a very shallow dish of honey or agave nectar. Make sure it doesn’t drip at all and only covers the edge of the glass. Then dip the top of the glass in a shallow dish of sugar. Carefully pour in the lemonade so the sugar isn’t dissolved. So beautiful!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (6-7 lemons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (15 oz.) sliced pears (puree in blender)
  • 10 cups cold water
  • 3 cups ice
  • 6 oz sliced or lightly mashed blackberries
  • optional: 5-6 fresh mint leaves and sliced pear and lemon for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pitcher (at least 3 liters), combine sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and pureed canned pear and mix well until sugar is dissolved (sugar is easier to dissolve before cold water is added).
  • Stir in cold water and ice. Add sliced or gently mashed blackberries.
    Optional: Garnish with slices of lemon, pear, and sprigs of fresh mint.

Notes

To make sugar rimmed glasses: 
Lightly dip the trims of each glass in a shallow dish of 1-2 Tablespoons honey or agave nectar, make sure there are no drips. 
Then lightly dip each glass into a shallow dish of 2-3 Tablespoons white granulated sugar. The pile of sugar must be slightly wider than the glass to work. 
Carefully pour lemonade into glasses so the sugar doesn't dissolve.
