High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Raspberry Lemon Lemonade

Few things hit harder on a warm day than a glass of genuinely fresh lemonade, and this raspberry version takes it somewhere really special. The deep pink-red color alone is enough to make everyone in the room ask what you're drinking. What makes this recipe stand out is the homemade raspberry syrup — fresh berries are simmered down with maple syrup and water until they collapse into something rich, fragrant, and naturally sweet. Maple syrup does all the heavy lifting here, so there's no corn-derived sweetener anywhere in the glass, which is surprisingly hard to avoid in store-bought lemonades and flavored drink mixes. Once the syrup is strained and cooled, it comes together with freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water in minutes. You can dial the tartness and sweetness to your exact taste before pouring over ice, which means this pitcher is endlessly adjustable. Garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of mint and it looks like something from a restaurant menu.
