A white pitcher, glass tumblers, and more supplies for making lemonade—like lemons and a wooden spoon—on a green-colored table.

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.
