Grilled Lemonade

We all love a cold refreshing drink of lemonade while outdoors. But if you are getting a little tired of the traditional style, add a spin with this grilled version!

The lemons are grilled before being squeezed giving them a great sweetness and the lemonade a caramelized sweet flavor. Another twist in this recipe is the addition of mint, but we have also seen rosemary used.

Once trying this it will be hard to go back to the traditional style! You might have to set up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood.

  • Juice all the lemons then pour the liquid into a large serving jug or similar.
  • Add the simple syrup to the lemon juice.
  • Add the 4 cups of water and ice, then stir to combine.
  • Three or four juiced lemon halves can be added to the jug.

To Serve

  • Pour a glass of lemonade, add extra ice, then garnish with the lemon slice created above when cutting the lemons (this can be grilled or not) and a small sprig of mint.
