A quick and easy homemade version of Chick-fil-A’s loaded lemonade, combining fresh lemon juice with a mix of fresh and frozen berries for a refreshing summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large fresh lemons (about 1 cup/240 ml fresh lemon juice)
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (adjust to taste; can substitute with honey or agave syrup)
  • 4 cups (960 ml) cold water
  • Ice cubes, plenty
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup mixed frozen strawberries and blueberries
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons on the countertop to loosen the juice. Cut them in half and juice until you have about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour in 4 cups (960 ml) of cold water, stirring gently to combine. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
  4. Hull and slice fresh strawberries. Rinse blueberries and pat dry. Set aside a few berries for garnish. Combine the rest with the frozen berries in a small bowl.
  5. Add the mixed fresh and frozen berries into the lemonade pitcher. For a smoother texture, blend half the berries until pureed and stir into the lemonade.
  6. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and reserved berries.
  7. Serve immediately for best freshness. Keep refrigerated up to 24 hours if needed.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor; Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic. Frozen berries help chill the drink without watering it down. Stir sugar into warm water first if you want to avoid graininess. Adjust sweetness to taste. Serve immediately for best freshness. Can be stored refrigerated up to 24 hours. For a fizzy twist, add sparkling water or club soda.
