Hosting a party for middle schoolers this afternoon and serving:
Sparkling lemonade - (yield: 2 gallons* cost approximately $7.00)
*with plenty of ice the yield can be incresed to nearly 4 gallons
2 1/2 gallons of "real" lemonade - no powders or artificial flavors, etc.
1 bottle sparkling water or seltzer water - cold
1/4 cup of 100% fruit juice - Example: strawberry/lemonade
Scoop of frozen fruit - if I have any in the freezer
few slices of lemons* and/or limes
Use smaller cups filled with ice - they'll be back for more so you want to serve smaller portions so there's no waste.
Will also serve ice water since it's going to hit 90 degrees by 2:00PM.
*Using a lemon from a neighbors yard.
p.s. To get the most juice out of lemons and limes, take a room temperature lemon and using the palm of your hand (as shown below) roll the lemon around on the counter gently pressing to loosen and break up the pulp inside. Take a spoon and use it to "squeeze out" the juice in to the container or beverage. Slice the peel and place in drink.
Happy Summer!
