This drink really needs no introduction, it is popular almost everywhere. Lemonade is the perfect summer drink. There is nothing better on these hot summer days than an ice cold glass of lemonade. Best of all, it’s very easy to make. It’s as simple as lemon juice, water, and sugar. Of course, a lot of ice and a couple lemon slices don’t hurt either. Using freshly squeezed lemon juice is almost necessary for that great flavor, and I can’t recommend using the bottled lemon juice. If you like this, maybe even give pink lemonade a try. Enjoy.
