Very good. We like our lemonade a little less sweet so cut sugar to 2/3 cup and it was fine. I made the basic recipe and the strawberry version. Both quite good. Garnished them with lemon balm leaves. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life 2013 game. -
This was very nice. I made the strawberry version with well blended fresh berries in place of the syrup and used Splenda for the sugar. I would make it again. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life game, 2013. -
I used grape juice from our vines instead of blueberries for the ginger ale version. <br/>Made with Splenda instead of regular sugar. Very refreshing! made for Variety is the Spice of Life, May 2013 -
Funny thing about this is I had planned on making strawberry version as I had strawberries, but realized it called for strawberry syrup. But then I realized I had the ingredients for the Virgin Watermelon Mojito Lemonade version. So I progressed in making it. I did omit the mint not because I didn't have it but because I just plain forgot. To make a long story short, I thoroughly enjoyed this version. Instead of pouring it over ice I blended the ice into the drink for a frappe version. I also have to say I cheated and used lime juice out of a squeeze bottle.<br/>Made for the Variety is the Spice of Life 2013 Event. -
I loved the lemon sunset and the Herbal Iced Tea versions. For the herbal I tea I prepared some tea with lemon balm from the garden in little water, cooled down with ice cubes and added the lemonade basic recipe. Thanks a lot for posting this great recipe!
