A Collection of Lemonade Recipes

by Magnolia
Published on April 28, 2023

A white pitcher, kitchen tools, and a glass of lemonade sit on a green tabletop.

There’s something extra special about a cool glass of lemonade on a sun-warmed day. The simple combination of water, lemons, and a little bit of sugar is enough to pause us for a stop at a roadside stand—and serve as a gentle reminder that no lemon is too sour to sweeten, in recipes and in life.

Grab a pitcher and get to turning lemons into lemonade! This lineup of recipes is sure worth the squeeze.
