Easy Kid-Friendly Sparkling Grape Lemonade Recipe

The first long weekend of summer may be over, but summer itself is just getting started!

And to help you stay cool and refreshed all season long, Minute Maid and the experts at the Canadian Living test kitchen have created a mouth-watering assortment of drinks and treats guaranteed to beat the heat.

I created a tasty Lime in the Coconut Cocktail last week and it was absolutely scrumptious, so I decided to whip up this Sparkling Grape Lemonade this week!

This tasty and fizzy drink is a great non-alcoholic purple punch recipe that’s perfect for a kid’s birthday party or a family get-together.

I have to admit, I really don’t care much for regular lemonade; it’s too sour to suit me. But the tart citrus taste was absolutely heavenly when blended with the Grape Punch.

And the carbonation of the Sprite added the perfect fizzy finishing touch to this pretty purple punch recipe!

For the coolest summer entertaining ever, Minute Maid also has some great tips for your special gatherings:

• Want to make homemade ice-pops but don’t have moulds? Use disposable paper cups and and wooden ice-pop sticks
• Jazz up your glass of lemonade or fruit punch by using frozen grapes as ice cubes
• Don’t like your juices too sweet? Simply add more water to your Minute Maid frozen juice or punch
