You can use coconut sugar for a better, sweeter effect in your blackberry lemonade. It’s sweet, but it has a subtle, earthy sweetness that reminds one of brown sugar rather than granular white sugar.

Agave/Maple Syrup

Liquid Stevia:

You can use stevia especially for those who are diabetic. remember a little goes a long way.
