Low Carb Blackberry Basil Lemonade Ingredients
– Blackberries: I use fresh blackberries, but frozen blackberries would work too.
– Basil: I love the flavor of basil in this lemonade, but you could also use mint.
– Lemon juice: I use fresh lemon juice, but you could also use bottled lemon juice.
– Sparkling water: I like to use blackberry sparkling water because it makes the lemonade more refreshing, but you could also use regular water.
– Erythritol: Any keto-friendly sweetener will work. Also you can get at your local supermarket a sugar free mango syrup to use as substitute for erythritol.
– Liqueur: This is optional, if you decide to make a keto cocktail out of the basil lemonade you can use vodka, tequila or rum.
– Ice: Ice will help to make your drink cold and frosty.
I love to use this recipe and make it in big batches.
It comes in handy when you having a summer party or a BBQ.
