Ingredients

1 cup ice cubes
¾ cup summer berry juice blend (or a combination of ½ cup raspberry juice, ¼ cup blueberry juice, and ¼ cup blackberry juice)
¼ cup fresh lemonade (or store-bought)
2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
¼ cup cooked raspberry boba pearls (available at grocery stores or online)

Instructions

Gather your ingredients: Grab your ice cubes, summer berry juice (or individual fruit juices), fresh or store-bought lemonade, simple syrup, and those enticing raspberry boba pearls.
The Boba Base: In a tall glass, add the cooked raspberry boba pearls.
Chill it out: Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top.
Berry & Lemon Blast: Pour in the summer berry juice blend (or individual fruit juices) and the lemonade.
Sweeten it up: Add the simple syrup and stir gently to combine. Adjust the amount to your desired sweetness level.

Tips & Tricks

Feeling creamy? Add a splash of milk or cream to the juice mixture and lemonade before shaking (optional).
No shaker? No worries! Simply pour the juice mixture and lemonade over the ice and boba pearls.
Mix it up! Don’t have mixed berry juice? You can substitute it with a combination of individual fruit juices like raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry.
Leftover boba pearls? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ready for your next refreshing drink!
