Serving Suggestions: Serve in tall glasses with colorful straws for a festive look. For a party, make a large batch and serve in a clear drink dispenser with fruit floating on top. Add a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy twist.
Tips: Freeze lemonade into ice cubes ahead of time for an even bolder flavor. Add a small amount of blue spirulina powder if you prefer a natural blue hue instead of artificial coloring. For adults, you can spike it with a splash of vodka or rum for a summer cocktail.
