Lemonade is the perfect, refreshing beverage for hot summer days. We take the bright flavor of lemon and pair it with other fruits and herbs like cherry, basil or rosemary for a fun take on a classic drink. Whether it’s kid-friendly recipes like Whipped Frozen Lemonade or the adult-friendly Cucumber-Lemonade Chiller, these drinks are tart, fresh and highlight the citrus fruit well.

Whipped Frozen Lemonade

Credit: Casey Barber
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Whipped frozen lemonade combines the creaminess of a milkshake with the thirst-quenching tanginess of freshly squeezed lemonade for an incredibly refreshing treat. And this simple frozen lemonade treat comes together with just four ingredients and a blender. You can use light coconut milk or refrigerated coconut milk in place of full-fat coconut milk, though the end result won't be as rich and creamy. Leftover simple syrup will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.Ā Source: EatingWell.com, May 2020
