Raspberry Lemonade
Enlist raspberries -- those on the verge of being overripe are perfect -- to sweeten lemonade and turn it a pleasing shade of pink. Pounding the lemon slices releases oil from the rinds, rounding out the flavor.

Pink Lemonade
I made this for Mother's Day for my mom and it does need the ten lemons but it can be simplified and it makes a pitcher full of lemonade. To simplify it instead of using fresh raspberries you can use frozen and with the sugar and water make a simple syrup put the frozen raspberries in that and then let that cool. Add the lemon juice from the 10 squeezed lemons and then add ice and it's perfect and very tasty. Served it in my Martha Stewart hurricane glasses ;D
Anyone know how many servings this makes?
