Ginger Pink Lemonade

Sharon Palmer

Ahh, the spicy sweetness of ginger pairs beautifully in a tart lemonade, softened with red berries that lend a pretty pink shade and sweet flavor. With only a touch of agave nectar, the berries offer the bulk of the natural sweetness to compliment lemons in this thirst-quenching beverage, which is as beautiful as it is delicious. Serve it over ice in pitchers at parties, for a picnic on a sunny day, or keep it in the fridge for a healthy hydration option during the week.
