Juicy Tips for Lovelier Lemonade
Compliments of Minute Maid

Fresh, lemony, delicious - many consider lemonade to be the classic
American drink.

Lemonade is one drink that pleases adults as well as kids. It's a delicious drink that can be a refreshing follow-up to a workout, a pleasing picnic beverage or a tasty thirst-quencher after school.

For those who don't have time to make the puckering potion from scratch, experts at Minute Maid, (the company that has brought you "Lemonade That's Lemon Made!"(tm) for 50 years) offer some tips on making the most out of your lemonade:

1. Make sure your lemonade has real lemons (the leading powdered lemonade contains no real lemon juice)

2. Look for all-natural products that provide the best-quality ingredients

3. Enjoy lemonade year-round - stock up easily with cans of frozen concentrated lemonade which last for months in your freezer

4. Give a glass of lemonade and six ice cubes a whir in your blender for a real frozen-blended treat

5. Add some raspberries to your frozen-blended lemonade for an even frostier treat

6. Slice a few real lemons into a tall, iced pitcher of lemonade for a festive presentation

7. Add a splash of grape juice to your lemonade for "pink" lemonade

8. Freeze a tray of lemonade ice cubes to add special flair to sparkling water or iced tea

9. Freeze a paper cup filled with lemonade and serve lemonade pops to the kids

10. Enjoy a half-glass of lemonade mixed with a half-glass of iced tea - a drink known to many golfers as an "Arnold Palmer" or "half and half"

Refreshing lemonade is a versatile drink, so experiment a little! A little creativity can go a long way in creating fun and exciting drinks for family and friends to enjoy throughout the summer.
