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)

2. The Boba Base: In a tall glass, add the cooked raspberry boba pearls.
3. Chill it out: Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top.

5. Sweeten it up: Add the simple syrup and stir gently to combine. Adjust the amount to your desired sweetness level.
