Layered Blackberry-and-Turmeric Lemonade
This spritzy, summery drink from Julia Momose is a showstopper with its distinct pink and yellow layers. It’s also incredibly versatile: Swap in raspberries or strawberries for the blackberries, double the recipe for a crowd, or serve the homemade soda and the turmeric-spiked lemonade on their own.
