Homemade Blueberry Ginger Lemonade

This homemade blueberry ginger lemonade is so easy to make and its refreshing taste is addictive! It's sweet and tart with a zing of ginger which can be optional, but I love its added flavor. Serve the lemonade over plenty of ice on its own, or add a shot of chilled vodka or tequila for a tasty cocktail!

Review from Molly @ Pinterest5 STARS: I gave it a try and it's really good! I doubled the recipe and used honey to replace only a small amount of the sugar. I also used frozen blueberries and didn't strain them. I didn't use ginger this time.
