½ cup blue raspberry syrup

# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Pour your drink over ice, then pop in a few raspberries and lemon wheels before handing it over.
02 -
Slide the big pitcher into your fridge and leave it for around 30 minutes to cool off.
03 -
Give it a sip, and if you think it needs to be sweeter or more tart, just add a little more sugar or splash of water till it’s right for you.
04 -
Drop in a little blue food coloring at a time, mixing gently, until you love the color. Stop when you hit that perfect blue shade.
05 -
Pour the lemon juice, that chilled syrup, blue raspberry syrup, and your leftover 4 cups of water together in a big pitcher. Mix it up real good so it all comes together.
06 -
Toss the sugar and 1 cup of water in a small pan. Put it on medium and stir till the sugar’s all melted. Take it off the stove and let it cool down completely before using.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
If you want fizz, swap in sparkling water instead of still.
02 -
You can use monk fruit or stevia if you want it with less sugar.
03 -
Anything left? Keep it in a covered pitcher in the fridge. It'll stay fine up to a week.
04 -
For a boozy spin, splash in some rum or gin to taste.
