A refreshing beverage is a treat in any season but they’re most appreciated in the summer. Everyone enjoys a rocking chair on the porch with a summer sipping cold beverage in their hand. I’ve teamed up with Equal® 0-Calorie Sweetener to bring you a delightful beverage in celebration of National Lemonade Day, August 20, and a chance to win a prize package from Equal®.
The contest is closed! Congratulations to Connie L. who won the prize package.
Front porch sippin’ with Sparkling Blackberry Lemonade made with Equal® 0-Calorie Sweetener and a snack of Skinny Pop popcorn.
For more than 30 years, Equal® has added sweetness to America’s favorite beverages and recipes with its trusted “blue” packets. It’s a great-tasting alternative to sugar. In addition to coffee and tea, Equal® can also replace sugar in many of your favorite food and beverage recipes.
I received a “National Lemonade Day” kit filled with items to help recreate Blackberry Sparkling Lemonade created by The Diabetic Chef® Chris Smith, who has partnered with Equal to create this special recipe. I tweaked Chef Smith’s recipe just a touch to make it more blackberry-ish. You just can’t have too much blackberry in your life and I’m not talking about the communication device.
So, in addition to the great recipe I’m going to share, here’s a chance to win a “National Lemonade Day” kit similar to the one I received that contained:
- Equal® mason jar-style plastic drinking glass
- Skinny Pop popcorn
- Dark Blue folding hand fan
- Joie lemon juicer
- Tovolo King ice cube tray
- Equal® Product
- Blackberry Sparkling Lemonade Recipe Card from The Diabetic Chef® Chef Chris Smith
- Equal® Recipe Guide Booklet
- Equal® iPad holder (open it up to find a stand you can use to easily prop up your tablet or favorite recipe book)!
The contest is closed. Congratulations to Connie L. who won the prize package.
