We are REALLY in the holiday spirit this year!
It’s all about the red, white, and blue.
Last night was the Folsom annual running of the bulls beginning the Pro-Rodeo festivities.
Seriously people… they were in our front yard.

| yes…this is the tree in the front yard |
The neighborhood kids excitedly waited all afternoon.
Not that they needed any extra fun, I spotted a FABULOUS idea over at gimme some oven for sparkling berry lemonade. Once again I had everything I needed - LOVE when that happens.
AND…since it is 4th of July time – I went with red, white (well light yellow), and blue lemonade.
You should have heard the popping in my kitchen.
For the Firecracker lemonade:
Lemonade - use your favorite
berries – we used raspberries and blackberries
poprocks
dip the rim of your glasses in syrup – I used agave
dip in poprocks
place a few berries in the bottom of each glass
crush
fill with lemonade
stir
Enjoy – let the popping begin!

Can’t wait to make this … pinned!!
What a great recipe! Love the pop rocks. You had me looking twice when you said Folsom. As far as I know, I haven’t heard anything about bull running in Sacramento…so I am assuming it’s a different city!
we’re just outside of Sacramento. They do the “bull run” every year to open the Folsom Pro-Rodeo
Looks delicious!
This sounds like a fun way to dress up lemonade!
