All Things Lemonade!

Lemonade is my favorite drink of choice, I even have a few shirts about it. I don’t drink much soda and I drink zero caffeine. At one point in my life when they were trying to diagnose an issue, the docs made me go off all soda for 12 weeks, gosh it was hard! But I never went back to drinking caffeine, unless you count chocolate milk. While lemonade is a favorite of mine after water, sometimes I still want something fancier or different. So I started experimenting with lemonade and here are some particular types of lemonades to create.
