This pink lemonade is tangy, slightly sweet and very refreshing! Try it on it's own, an addition to an Arnold Palmer iced tea or mixer for an adult beverage.

Ingredients

2 large thick skinned lemons cut into wedges. (Seeds may be removed, but not critical if some small seeds remain)
1 cup fresh organic raspberries washed
8 Tbsp super fine cane sugar only super fine or caster sugar would work for this
5-6 cups water 2 cups of water set aside 1st

Tools needed

1 fine netted sieve
high speed blender
pitcher

Instructions

Pour 2 cups of water, all lemon wedges, raspberries and super fine sugar into blender.
Blend on medium to start for about 20 seconds, then switch to pulse and pulse another few times til all ingredients are emulsified.
Place your sieve on top of your pitcher and slowly pour blended mixture into pitcher, about a half cup at a time.
Use a spatula to help the liquid pass through the sieve by moving around the thick mixture. Repeat until all the mixture has been passed through the sieve, leaving only the liquid in the pitcher.
You may dump the pulpy mixture in the sieve once all the liquid has passed through the sieve into the pitcher.
Now add 3-4 cups of the remaining water into your pitcher, depending on your desired consistency.
You can add more sugar at this point if desired or more water.
Chill the lemonade for at least an hour before serving or you may serve over ice immediately.

Notes

Best served over ice. Try on it's own, as a mixer with iced tea or as a mixer for vodka lemonade.[br][br]***Disclaimer*** This recipe works out real well with a high speed blender, but I can not guarantee it will process well with a standard blender.
