Whenever I am asked what I like to drink the answer is always lemonade, so I thought I would document all of the lemonades I've tried in a "lemonade collection". I'm looking forward to trying many novelty lemonades.
I'll happily accept any contributions, recommendations, or even recipes for home made lemonades. If you contribute, I'll recognize you in the collection.
Strong sugary punch flavor, with a bit of tang. There is a bit of a chemical taste, which I attribute to preservatives, as it is not in the powdered drink mix.
A carbonated lemonade. Doesn’t have a heavy mineral flavor as many seltzers do. A mild lemon flavor that is plenty sweet even though there is zero sugar.
This was a fun one. During our trip to Kauai, we stopped at the farmer’s market. This lemonade stand was “run” by an eight year old boy. Mom, Dad and sisters clearly helped, but earnings were for his education fund (or something like that).
Fresh squeezed lemon, and fresh lichee fruit. So delicious. I’m inspired! I’ll have to do something similar with my daughter (to be honest, I’d already been planning to do a lemonade stand with her, but now it will be fresh squeezed).
Zero sugar in this one has a heavy artificial sweetener taste. I am not a fan of pre-mixed Country Time; so different from the powdered drink.
Contribution from my Toyota salesman, who offered something to drink. I then discovered he had to buy it from the vending machine with his own money (stingy dealership, generous salesman).
Pleasant and full punchy flavor.
Punchy. Not as good as the powdered version of the same drink (must be the preservatives).

This has a heavy punch taste.

This is another staple. It has great flavor. While it does have a bit of a punch flavor, it is not syrupy, or artificial tasting. It is SO much better than the pre-mixed versions of the same. The flavor can be adjusted as desired by adding more or less powder.
A carbonated lemonade, that is sugary sweet. More lemony than your typical lemon-lime soda.
Thank you to Rhonda Hair and Jo Lynn Ford at the ALC for this contribution. I do like the “splash of Real Juice” but I would say this is a ginger ale, more than it is a lemonade.
