30 minutes
Berry ice lemonade is a refreshing drink with a bright sweet-sour taste and the aroma of fresh berries. This recipe has roots in Yugoslav cuisine, where fruit drinks have always been popular due to the hot climate. Berry juice gives a rich color, while raspberry ice adds exquisite freshness and a slight tartness. The lemon's acidity harmonizes with the subtle sweetness of sugar syrup, creating a perfect balance of flavor. A feature of this drink is its elegant presentation with lemon slices and mint sprigs that enhance the taste and make it even more refreshing. Lemonade perfectly quenches thirst in summer heat and is great for festive gatherings and picnics. Simple to prepare yet surprisingly aromatic and impressive – it will become a favorite summer treat!
