Blackberry Mint Limeade for Pinterest

Refreshing limeade made with fresh blackberries & mint. Easy summer drink!

Blackberry Mint Limeade

Summer can’t get better! I am all about desserts & drinks these days as, well, let’s be honest summer produce is the best time to get creative and make tons of delicious colorful food. I mean seriously, these days, I have been going grocery shopping almost every. single. day as every day I find an excuse to run to my favorite store and end up bringing all sorts of fruits and vegetables home! And cherries! Bags & bags of cherries.

Ingredients for Blackberry Mint Limeade

Are you also going through cherry obsession lately? I am loving those deep dark cherries and it seems that I can’t get enough. Juicy plump, these are one of the best cherries I have eaten after a very long time. Apart from cherries, blackberries are becoming my newest favorite fruit. I was never into eating blackberries raw but now I am eating handfuls of them every now & then. So GOOD.

If you love blackberries+ summer + refreshing drinks = then this is for you!! Super simple limeade made with just 5 ingredients and that includes basics like water & sugar. It’s non alcoholic but you can totally add some booze in here to get the party going. I would suggest you to make a large pitcher and chill in refrigerator until serving time. It tastes really great with pizza nights! Just saying.

Blackberry Mint Limeade is a Thirst Quencher

Double, triple, as you wish!

    I am definitely going through a cherry obsession too at the moment – I do every summer! I just can’t get enough of them, I can just keep on eating them all day long! This drink sounds like the perfect treat to enjoy under the warmth of the sun, and I love the combination of flavours you used – mint, lime and blackberries all sound so delicious!
