Today is Friday August 20, 2010
- This cool, refreshing drink is an old time favorite! The mixture of lemons, water, and sugar results in a pleasant contrast of sweet and sour in your mouth. Variations of lemonade can be made and found around the world including clear, cloudy, or fizzy lemonade, pink lemonade, and lemonade as a mixer in alcoholic beverages. However you decide to enjoy your lemonade, be sure to squeeze some fresh lemons to make it in honor of National Lemonade Day!
