tagged dartmouth, drinks, lemon, recipes, summer I really love San Pellegrino Limonata, for fun I decided to make a homemade alternative.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 cups lemon juice (13-16 lemons)
- 2 tablespoon grated lemon peel
Directions
-In a pot bring water to boil, dissolve sugar, and let cool. Add lemon juice and peel, mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
-For 1 serving, combine 1/4 cup of syrup with 1 cup cold soda water in a glass and stir well. For 8 servings, combine 1.5 cups of syrup and 5 cups cold soda water in a pitcher, stir well and serve.
This recipe is super addictive, great for cocktails, and freezes well. Can't wait to make this again soon.
I was feeling really inspired so I upgraded the drink by adding a splash of rosewater, raspberries, and a shot of vodka.
Mandatory Bailey Update
Bailey found a bag big enough to crawl into.
A one point Roxy tried to climb in to join him ..... that didnt go so well for her.

I love your photos of the lemonade......made me feel like summer on a cold winter day!
Looks lovely and I'm sure it taste amazing. Absolutely going to try. Only just discovered your blog today, but will come again. I love your cat as well. I lost mine in may due to old age - miss her. Unfortunately I'm allergic - so no more for me. But I can enjoy yours on photos. I do a lot of photograpy as well, but still have a lot to learn. But having so much fun doing so. Have a lovely weekend.
