Sweet, tart, and ice cold, lemonade is the quintessential summer drink—the best part? It can be dressed up any way you like. Beyond the usual lemon juice, sugar, and water recipe, we also like to add herbs, such as fresh mint or tarragon, and throw in seasonal fruits like blueberries too. You can easily whip out a batch for a crowd when you’re entertaining—better yet, make a pitcher for yourself and sip it leisurely on your porch. Read on for some of our favorites.

Layered Blackberry-and-Turmeric Lemonade

Go to Recipe

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.

Tarragon Lemonade

This infused lemonade has a gentle sweetness, like a tarragon-zapped lemon drop. Give it a try with other summer herbs, too, like fresh mint.

Tomato Lemonade

Kat Kinsman is known for clever drinks like this lemonade. It's perfect on its own as a mocktail, but Kinsman recommends adding a shot or two of rye whisky to make the tomatoey drink "reminiscent of a wonderfully tipsy deli sandwich." Gin or vodka would be a great addition as well.
