- Blueberry Lavender Lemonade Recipe
Fresh lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. With Michigan blueberry season falling right in the middle of summer, I love creating a fresh twist on classic homemade lemonade with this blueberry lavender version.
It has just the right amount of lavender flavor, fresh lemon juice, and juicy blueberries to create a wonderful drink for summertime.

What’s in Blueberry Lavender Lemonade
- Fresh blueberries - Fresh berries work best, but you can use frozen blueberries in place of the fresh berries. Let the berries thaw first and add both the blueberries and any juice created from thawing them to the blender when making this recipe.
- Fresh lemon juice - Squeeze fresh lemons (about 1 lemon per ounce of juice) or buy high quality bottled lemon juice. Go for a quality brand like Real Lemon. It costs more than store-brand lemon juice or what comes in a plastic lemon-shaped bottle, but will be worth the price for the fresher taste.
- Lavender simple syrup - Easily made at home, lavender syrup only requires three ingredients. Get the recipe over on my lavender simple syrup page.
- Water - Tap water, club soda, or plain sparkling water all work great in this recipe.
Make Homemade Lavender Simple Syrup

How To Make Blueberry Lavender Lemonade (Step by Step)
Place the blueberries and lemon juice in a blender or small food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
Combine blueberry mixture, lavender syrup, and water in a large pitcher. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To Serve Your Lemonade
Pour into tall glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh blueberries, lemon wedges, and/or sprigs of fresh lavender.
Can this Lemonade Recipe Be Made by the Glass?
Yes! In a small bowl, muddle ¼ cup blueberries and 1 ounce fresh lemon juice until blueberries are completely crushed. Strain the mixture into a tall, highball glass or large rocks glass. Add 1.5 ounces of lavender syrup and 5 ounces of water, sparkling water, or club soda. Stir to combine. Add ice to fill the glass. Sip and enjoy!
Can I Make The Blueberry Lavender Lemonade Ahead of Time?
Yes! Follow the instructions for the lemonade, then cover your pitcher and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve, give the lemonade a good stir before pouring over ice.
Recipe Tips for Lavender Blueberry Lemonade
- Don’t add ice cubes to the pitcher. Instead, add them to each glass as you serve the lemonade. Adding them to the pitcher leaves the ice cubes to melt and dilute your homemade lemonade.
- If you don't mind - or want - pieces of blueberries in your drinks, skip straining the blueberry/lemon juice mixture.
- Use frozen blueberries instead of the fresh ones, just thaw them first before blending.
What To Serve With Blueberry Lavender Lemonade
Crisp, refreshing lemonade is best when served with a creamy, rich snack like smoked salmon dip, whipped feta bruschetta with sun dried tomatoes, or three cheese artichoke dip.
