Today is National Lemonade Day- hurray! What better beverage to refresh you in these erm, hot summer days, or comfort you when it’s raining outside and you’re soothing a hangover. Here are a few of our favourite variations on the classic.
To make a jug of original lemonade you will need:
3 chopped lemons,
1 litre of cold water (still or soda depending on your fizz preference)
140g caster sugar
Blend the lemons, sugar and half the water in a food processor, then pour the mixture into a sieve over your jug.
Top with remaining water and garnish with lemon - easy!

3. Blueberry and mint lemonade
Blend blueberries and muddled mint in with the original mix.
4. Rose lemonade
Add a splash of rosewater to the original recipe for a delicate, floral taste.
5. Tropical lemonade
Replace 500ml of water with tropical, pineapple or mango juice to create a fruity, heavier taste.
1. Elderflower and cucumber lemonade
Add a dash of elderflower cordial and some slices of cucumber to your lemonade.
Add a dash of ginfor a stiff drink.
2. Strawberry and limeade
Replace one of your lemons for limes and add strawberry pieces to the original recipe.
