If you’re looking for a fun and refreshing drink to serve this summer, these Berry Lemonade Coolers are just the thing. I love how quick and easy they are to make—just a few ingredients and a blender, and you’ve got a vibrant, fruity drink that’s perfect for cooling off on a hot day. The combination of tangy lemonade and sweet berries creates a flavor that’s both bold and refreshing, and it’s always a hit with kids and adults alike.
This recipe is also incredibly flexible. You can use fresh or frozen berries, and swap in sparkling water for part of the liquid if you want a fizzy twist. It’s a great option for summer parties, picnics, or even just a relaxing afternoon on the patio. Garnish with a few extra berries, a slice of lemon or lime, or a sprig of mint to make it feel extra special. Trust me—once you try it, you’ll be making it all season long for those hot summer days!

Instructions for Berry Lemonade Coolers
Start by adding your lemonade drink mix to a blender container. Pour in 3 cups of cold water and add a generous handful of frozen berries—strawberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend all work beautifully. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
Next, pour the berry lemonade mixture into a large pitcher and stir in the remaining 3 cups of cold water to balance the flavor and texture. Serve immediately in glasses over ice cubes, and garnish with lime slices, fresh berries, or mint sprigs for a festive touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the coolers keep in the fridge?
The blended berry lemonade mixture will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Just give it a stir before serving.
Can I adjust the sweetness?
Absolutely. You can add honey, agave, or a sugar substitute to taste. The lemonade mix already provides sweetness, so adjust based on your preference.
Can I make this a fizzy drink?
Yes! Replace some of or all of the water with sparkling water or club soda for a bubbly twist. Add it just before serving to preserve the fizz.
What’s the best way to serve this at a party? Double or triple the recipe and serve it in a large drink dispenser over ice. Garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, or lemon slices for a festive touch.
Can I turn this into a frozen slushie?
Definitely! Use frozen berries and less water when blending to create a thicker, slushy-style drink. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Can I use a different base instead of lemonade mix?
You can substitute with limeade, orange juice, or even homemade lemonade for a different flavor profile.
