Love hitting up the Cheesecake Factory with your kids for sweet desserts? Mama Karly of Buns in My Oven shares her Cheesecake Factory copycat recipe for homemade raspberry lemonade — and I have a feeling that this is one sweet drink that’s sure to have you sippin’ at home more often!

Easily made with water, sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice and frozen (or fresh) raspberries, this drink is a perfect chiller to sip poolside or in the backyard with your feet up. Karly also recommends adding Sprite to the recipe to add a fun, fizzy sensation (or add some vodka if you’re looking for an adults-only summer beverage!).

Up next: S’more, please!
