Classic Lemonade

Monday, July 27, 2020


Delightfully sweet and refreshing, this recipe was created by the lovely Laurie Douceur and has quickly become my go-to refresher for summer. Slightly modified to my taste, follow my adapted recipe below or Laurie's classic recipe and start squeezing those lemons. 

INGREDIENTS 
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 4 lemons)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
4 cups water
vodka (optional, my secret ingredient)
ice

  1. In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sugar. 
  2. Add the water, maple syrup and ice. Adjust the amount of water and sugar to taste. 
  3. Serve very cold on ice. Can be spiked with vodka.
