Lemonade

Linda Abernathy of the Arkansas Times exclaims, Homemade lemonade tastes like sun sparkling across a lake on a summer morning. Compared to its fresh, natural lemon flavor, the instant stuff might as well be lemon-flavored dishwater. Lemonade is as American as apple pie. In Lemonade, Fred Thompson creates 50 diverse recipes that will take you far beyond the basic lemonade-stand fare of childhood. Ranging from simple to sophisticated, the recipes include such classics as Old-Fashioned Lemonade, new twists like Ginger Lemonade and Watermelon Lemonade; sparkling versions like Lime & Lemonade Cooler; and spiked versions such as Lemonade Martini and Slush Puppy Deluxe. Lemonade is also bursting with gorgeous full-color photography, useful information about buying, juicing, and storing lemons, and has sections on helpful lemonade basics. Whether you are trying an exciting new variation or a more traditional recipe, Thompson will show you that there really is no substitute for a large glass of freshly homemade lemonade.
