]]> As much as we all love lemonade, we don’t always drink it to its full potential. This is because it’s a heck of a lot easier to buy lemonade at the store than it is to make it ourselves—and the fact of the matter is, homemade lemonade, when done right, is both healthier and tastier. So if you want to take a break from store-bought lemonade, here’s a great recipe that’s also shockingly simple.

Lemons

The first thing you need to do is gather about 12-14 lemons, and squeeze them to their full capacity into a large pitcher. To add a bit of extra girth to the mixture, pour in another 1/2 cup of lemon juice.

Sugar Water

Now it’s time to add a little bit of sweetness to your lemonade concoction. Create sugar water by mixing a 1/2 cup of sugar with a 1/2 cup of boiling water. The sugar will dissolve, and then you can pour it into the pitcher.

Water and Ice

For the final and most important step, fill the rest of the pitcher up with cold water and ice. Mix it up thoroughly and you’ve got yourself a refreshing pitcher of lemonade!

]]> Lemonade is a quintessential summer favorite for people all over the world. The tart, refreshing, and sweet drink is great on its own, but did you know that it can be employed in a wide variety of cocktails as well? If you’re feeling adventurous this summer, why not give these lemonade cocktails a try?

Shandy

Shandy is one of the most beloved summer drinks containing alcohol on the planet. A simple mix of half lemonade (sometimes carbonated) and beer, you can make this concoction with any light and neutral beer such as a lager or a pilsner.

Kentucky Lemonade

Kentucky Lemonade gets its name from the bourbon which it contains—a lovely, boozy addition that complements the flavor of lemonade perfectly. Also containing ginger ale and mint leaves, this cocktail is great for slow sipping on the porch.

Rosé Lemonade

Whoever thought of the idea of combining delicious bubbly rose wine with lemonade deserves some sort of prize because this combination truly cannot be beaten. Light and refreshing on the hottest of days, rosé lemonade is the perfect way to spice up a brunch.

Lavender Honey Lemonade

It sounds like the perfect summer refreshing mocktail. Simply add some lavender to the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweeten it up with honey. The end result is fabulous.

Mint Limeade

Another great way to escape from the classic pattern is to change the lemons with limes. They are just as delicious when transformed into a cold drink. This drink looks very much like a virgin mojito, which is another reason why you’ll love it.
