Recipe: How to Make Cartoon Berry Lemonade
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 cups prepared lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Edible googly eyes (or small candy eyes)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Straws and fun paper straws for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the strawberries and 1/2 cup of lemonade. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
- In the same blender (rinsed), combine the blueberries and 1/2 cup of lemonade. Blend until smooth, then strain. Set aside.
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Pour the strawberry mixture into each glass until about one-third full.
- Gently pour the blueberry mixture over the back of a spoon to create a second layer. Fill the glass almost to the top.
- Top with a thin layer of plain lemonade to create a "face" area. Add a dollop of whipped cream for the character’s hair or hat.
- Place two edible googly eyes on the whipped cream or directly on the glass rim. Use a strawberry slice for a smile or nose.
- Insert a straw and serve immediately. Your cartoon drink drawing is ready to be admired and sipped!
Tips
- For a deeper color, use frozen berries instead of fresh. They also help keep the drink cold.
- If you don’t have edible eyes, draw a face on the glass with a food-safe marker or use small marshmallows with chocolate chips.
- This recipe is easily doubled for a crowd. Just layer the colors in a large pitcher and serve in individual cups.
