Make a Delicious Lemonade Shake Up

Lemonade is an all time favorite, especially in the summer. Many carnivals and festivals in the summer offer a lemonade shake up. It is fresh lemonade made individually for each customer. The lemons are squeezed fresh for each cup and the ingredients are added and shaken for each order. The taste is heavenly and fresh. This article will teach you how to make this wonderful, delicious lemonade at home.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

lemons
sugar or artificial sweetener
crushed or shaved ice
water
(2) 8 oz cups same in make, shape, etc
extra lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Step 1

First, cut lemons in half. You will need 1 half for each lemon shake up. This recipe works best if the lemons are freshly cut as needed, but can use a left over half, as well.
Step 2

Next, place half a cup of crushed ice in 1 of the 8 oz cups. If you have larger cups, adjust the recipe accordingly.
Step 3

Squeeze lemon completely into the cup. You can also use a fork to scrape out entire lemon pulp content into cup. Remove any seeds. Place the lemon inside the cup after juice and pulp are squeezed.
Step 4

Next, add 1/2 cup of cup of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. If you use artificial sweetener, check the conversion. Some sweeteners are equal conversion, while others are not. You can add more water or sugar to taste.
Step 5

Next, place the second cup on top of the one containing your lemonade. Shake back and forth, approximately 6 good shakes or until all ingredients are mixed well. When all ingredients are mixed, serve in cup and enjoy. You can garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim, if desired.
