I tried to do something fun and interesting with the MS paint thread but you lazy fucks wanted nothing to do with it.
So instead, we're gonna talk about lemonade!!
What's your go to for a cool refreshing lemonade? Do you make your own, or do you buy from the store? (Please indicate store location if this is the case)
Any good restaurants serving up a good lemonade these days?
Any discussion of flavors such as, (but not limited to) strawberry, peach, mango, eggplant, all welcome here! [Reply]

No, an Arnold Palmer is a 50-50 split of sweet tea and lemonade. So there's more lemonade in there than just a squeeze of lemon. Add that lemonade isn't as sour as straight-up lemon, you've got to drink for the ages. [Reply]
I make my own. I get the lemons from Sam's Club. Squeezing the whole bag nets about 1.5 cups of juice. Add about eight cups of water. Make my own "syrup" .75 cups of sugar added to 1 cup of water. Heat until slightly boiling. Add to the rest and refrigerate. [Reply]
8 lemons quartered, 6 oz cane sugar, 1 fifth 100 proof vodka, ice, sun tea jar, towel.
Quarter the lemons and put them in a sun tea jar along with the sugar and the full bottle of vodka. Pack the remaining space with ice cubes. Put a towel around the sun tea jar and shake it vigorously with the top on until the towel sticks. Do it with friends because who wants to drink alone and you have to shake it for about 30 minutes before the towel sticks to the frost on the outside of the sun tea jar. Tastes just like lemonade and will knock you on your ass.
They're called Yuccas and they're the perfect summer drink. Learned it in college at Arizona St. About the only thing I learned there. [Reply]

It is sweeter than sugar so you can use less of it. It is also low glycemic so it does not spike blood sugar.
It is also a fructose which only your liver can process so there are significant health risks to consuming large amounts such as wreaking havoc on your metabolic health and may contribute to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes [Reply]
