Blackberry Lemonade {recipe}

This post contains affiliate links.

Right before the 4th of July I discovered Rock Town Distillery‘s Arkansas Lightning. Arkansas Lightning is technically knows as moonshine and comes in six yummy flavors! On the Rock Town Distillery website there are a bunch on cocktail recipes and Blackberry Lemonade is one of them…

BlackberryLemonade

In order to make this recipe I first decided to replicate my Grandma’s lemonade recipe. Ya’ll. This is the best lemonade ever and I could not for the life of me figure out how to make it. When I finally figured it out I was shocked when I learned the “secret” to the recipe. Are you ready for this??

koolaidlemonade

Kool-Aid Lemonade. I never would have guessed on my own. You make the kook-aid according to the package and then squeeze a few loons into it and then slice them up and put them in the pitcher to make it look fancy. I found her recipe in a cookbook she made for all the grandkids a few years ago. I should really look at that cookbook more often. HA!

blackberrycobbler

For this particular recipe I muddled a few blackberries in the bottom of a mason jar, threw in a few lemon slices, filled the jar up with “homemade” lemonade, and threw in a few shots of Blackberry Cobbler Arkansas Lightning. YUM!!!

One thing I love about the Blackberry Cobbler Arkansas Lightning is that you can’t even taste the alcohol. It’s kind of dangerous because when I can’t taste it I tend to drink more…LOL!!

For those of you that have never heard of Rock Town Distillery before, there are a few things you should know about it! Rock Town Distillery is the first legal distillery in the state of Arkansas since the prohibition.   It is a grain-to-glass distillery and uses all local ingredients in it’s products. Rock Town produces every alcohol you can think of including moonshine, bourbon whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, and more!

Tours are given twice a day, 7 days a week and are for all ages but only those who are 21 and over can do the tasting! If you are local to central Arkansas you can even sign up to get on the email list to join a bottling party! I want to do that soooo bad!! Maybe one day my schedule will work out so I can!!

Catch the full recipe for this yummy Blackberry Lemonade at the bottom of this post.

Have you tried Arkansas Lightning before??
Have you toured a distillery??

    That lemonade recipe cracks me up. Grandma’s always seem to have fun tricks like that. My favorite Kool aid was the pink lemonade growing up.
    We need to take a little drive to Rock Town! I can’t wait to try this recipe :)

    I have toured a distillery before, but I have never tried this Arkansas Lightening before. I don’t even think that is on the shelves here in the midwest. A drink that tastes like sweet lemonade could be dangerous ☺

    This is a nice combination of kool aide and natural ingredients. The lemonade would mesh well with the blackberry as they are both sweet with sour taste.

    I’ve never added blackberries to my lemonade before – why in the heck not? Sounds like a winner to me. Your grandma must be a pretty smart lady.

    I love flavored lemonades, but I’ve never tried blackberry. It sounds absolutely delicious! I always have flavored iced teas and flavored lemonades during summer, so I’d love to try this!

    I love flavored lemonade, but have never thought of using blackberries. Grandmas are the coolest. I bet you always thought she had some elaborate secret up her sleeve. I bet you never thought that yummy lemonade started out with Koolaide.

    Sounds like a cool drink! It’s quite easy to prepare and it’s perfect for parties. I’ve never heard of this brand before, but then again, I don’t really drink much. It’s good to have recipes like this on hand though, in case you have friends over.

    Oh my gosh, that’s so funny! But hey, KoolAid Lemonade totally rocks the house, so I get it. Love the idea of adding a shot of some blackberry liqueur – perfect summer cocktail.
