Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles Recipe

I made these Raspberry Lemonade Popsicles on a hot afternoon and instantly fell in love with how bright and refreshing they tasted. The tart lemon paired with sweet raspberries had my whole family asking for seconds.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup lemon juice — freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the popsicles a bright tangy flavor; bottled juice can taste flat and overly acidic.
  • ¼ cup sugar — balances the sharpness of the lemon and enhances the natural sweetness of the raspberries; adjust slightly based on taste.
  • 1½ cups water — lightens the lemonade base and keeps the popsicles icy and refreshing rather than dense.
  • ½ cup raspberries fresh or frozen — adds natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a fruity burst in every bite; fresh hold their shape better, but frozen work well too.

Method
 

  1. I started by mixing the lemon juice, sugar, and water in a bowl. Stirring until the sugar fully dissolved helped create a smooth and balanced lemonade flavor.
  2. Next, I placed a few raspberries into each popsicle mold. They add texture, natural sweetness, and a beautiful pop of color once frozen.
  3. I poured the lemonade mixture over the raspberries, leaving a little space at the top. After inserting the sticks, I froze them until completely solid before serving.

Notes

  • I soak wooden popsicle sticks in water first so they freeze securely.
  • Freezing the mixture for one hour before adding sticks helps keep them centered.
  • If you prefer smoother popsicles, I lightly mash or blend the raspberries.
  • I always taste the lemonade before freezing and adjust sweetness if needed.
