    Yep! I like plain lemonade, strawberry and raspberry lemonades. BITD (60s) my mom made a grape-lemonade using a bottle of Welch's concentrated grape juice and a container of frozen concentrated lemonade ... love it, but it's pretty tart and my kids wouldn't drink it.

    When we lived in Germany we'd buy a fizzy lemonade in a bottle that I loved.

    It's a semi-tart fruit drink made from lemon juice, water and sugar. You can fresh squeeze the lemons, or buy a frozen concentrate, or buy it ready made. No boiling.

    Do you drink saft hot or cold? It sounds yummy.

    My father went to a continuing legal education (CLE) luncheon seminar last week and complained to me later that all they had to drink for lunch was bottled water.

    It's cold. You kinda make a concentrate, and then mix it with water when you're going to drink it.

    Do you enjoy lemonade?
    Yes! Homemade is better though because I prefer less sweet!

    Do you like a flavored lemonade?

    Yes! My favorite is huckleberry lemonade which is everywhere around here since huckleberries are local

    I do like lemonade, but I rarely make it because I try to stay away from sugary drinks. I used to love to get it freshly squeezed when we'd go to the local fair every summer.

    That's so fun that your students have a snack shop for the teachers! How fun is that?

    Probably a similar end product but you just take lemons, squeeze the juice out and add sugar.

    My husband wanted to try a new drink at Sonic today so I ended up with a blue raspberry lemonade. It has zero relation to actual raspberries but at least is made with real lemons. Perfect for staying hydrated while I try to finish up a few things I didn't do this weekend because I was scrapping ;)

    Fresh fruit is amazing in lemonade!! I don't think I've ever tried lavender, but I do love blueberries and stawberries!

    We have a teacher who can't drink anything carbonated, so she was thrilled when we added lemonade. The mango is soooo good. I wasn't sure if it would be, but I love it.

    The grape-lemonade sounds really good. I just had a flashback to childhood when we always had the frozen concentrated juices in the freezer.

    The shop has been such a great learning experience for them...so many different skills and meeting new people, having to interact with them...it's been so fun!

    Water would have been fine for me too, but he HATES water, so he’s constantly dehydrated b/c he only drinks 2-3 cans of Pepsi a day and no other liquids. Drives me batty!

    I always get a flavored lemonade when we go to our favorite Brazilian restaurant. I love the mango and passion fruit lemonades! They also have pineapple and guava raspberry.
