Hey everyone! Chelsea back from Chelsea?s Messy Apron. ? When the weather heats up I?live for icy cold beverages and delicious ice cream treats.
Flavored lemonades are my family?s favorite drinks so we have them all summer long ? strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and mango lemonades are constantly being made around my home.
My husband?s?favorite is blueberry lemonade and this recipe has a fun twist ? it?s got sparkling water?added in.
Most flavored lemonades add in water which is also delicious, but this one has sparkling water giving it a little extra something fun.
Enjoy!
