Lemon
Fresh juice. Bottled juice tastes flat next to the berries.
Sugar
It dissolves in the berry puree. No simple syrup required.
Ice
In the glass, not in the pitcher, or the last glass is watery.
Color
A dull pink means the berries were underripe.

FAQ
Frozen berries?
Thaw them first so the lemonade is not watered down by ice crystals in the blend.

Start with 3/4 cup sugar and taste.
Sparkling?
Swap half the water for soda, added just before serving.
Keep?
Refrigerate 3 days. Stir before pouring.
