Melissa’s 5 Favorite Craft Lemonades
1. Sparkling Herbed Pineapple Limeade
Tropical pineapple juice meets the zing of fresh lime, with muddled basil and mint to keep it cool and green. Finished with a fizzy splash of sparkling water for a cocktail feel.
2. Strawberry Coconut Lemonade
This one’s a vacation in a glass. Juicy strawberries blended with tangy lemon and mellowed by coconut water—it’s creamy, fruity, and completely refreshing.
3. Lavender Lemonade
Floral, tart, and lightly sweet, this lemonade brings a calming, garden-party vibe. Fresh or dried lavender infuses the simple syrup for a sip that’s equal parts pretty and peaceful.
4. Rosemary Ginger Lemonade
Zesty and herbaceous, this one’s got depth. The homemade rosemary-ginger syrup adds a warm, spiced twist that’s as good with a splash of bourbon as it is on its own.
5. Sparkling Cucumber Basil Lemonade
Clean, crisp, and ultra-refreshing, this blend pairs cool cucumber with bright lemon and fresh basil. Add sparkling water and a slice of cucumber for the perfect hot-day cooler.
