Lemonade

Ingredients

• 1 cup lemon juice (~6 lemons)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• lots of ice

Directions (two glasses at a time)

1. squeeze the lemons well
2. make simple syrup, equal parts water/sugar
3. in a measuring cup, add 1/2 cup simple syrup
4. add ice (it will melt) until it looks about 2 cups total
5. stir, stir stir
6. when you’re sure it’s cold, add 1/2 cup lemon juice
7. add half to cocktail shaker, and shake, shake, shake
8. pour
9. repeat for second glass.

Notes

• the ratio you’re shooting for is 1:1:3 lemon juice, syrup, water
• better to go a little over than under with the ice
• if you don’t have a shaker, you probably want more water, as the shaking is meant to dilute the strength.
