This whipped blueberry lemonade whirls coconut milk, lemon-infused simple syrup and fresh blueberries together into one thirst-quenching beverage perfect for a hot summer day. Keep the extra simple syrup on hand to whip up another batch of lemonade, or combine it with lemon-flavored seltzer and a splash of vodka for a light cocktail. To keep this drink extra cool, serve it over ice cubes.

Ingredients

Lemon Simple Syrup

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
Zest of 1 large lemon

Lemonade

2 ½ cups ice cubes
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
¾ cup fresh blueberries

Directions

To prepare lemon simple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat. Cover and let steep for 1 hour, then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve; discard the zest. (You'll have extra syrup; refrigerate for up to 1 week.)
To prepare lemonade: Add ice, coconut milk, lemon juice and 1/2 cup lemon simple syrup to a blender. Blend until the ice is crushed and the mixture is slushy. Add blueberries and pulse to coarsely chop. Divide among 4 glasses and serve immediately.

To make ahead

Refrigerate simple syrup (Step 1) in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
