Recently traveling to the South (USA) I was reminded that everyone likes to have a fresh and chilled lemonade on a hot afternoon. As the weather soared to near 100 degrees with lots humidity to make it feel even hotter – all I could think about was a very cold glass of lemonade!
Not only that but I wanted every variation of lemonade, like strawberry, watermelon, raspberry and so forth.
So it got me started thinking, that I really don’t have recipes for lemonade! This seems very odd since back home in California I have a lemon tree that puts out hundreds of lemons each year! 
Anyway, I decide to gather some lemonade recipes, scrap them quickly with a Quick Page kit ( The Lemonade Stand Quick Page Kit 1 8.5×11″ ), so next time I got really hot – I would have lots of lemonade recipe options!
Digital Quick Pages are perfect for sliding digital photos underneath the pre-made layouts. It only makes sense to choose a Quick Page kit that lets you spend most of your time playing and only a few seconds scrapping all the fun! Just add digital photos and you’re basically done!
Also, I thought I would share a few of the great lemonade recipes I found with you!
First here is recipe for basic – Old-Fashioned Lemonade by Sunkist 
Real Old Fashion Lemonade:
- In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well.
“Pink Lemonade” Variation:
- Add a few drops of red food coloring or grenadine syrup.
- Honeyed Lemonade Variation:
- Substitute honey to taste for the sugar
Then
get fancy and make Lemonade with raspberries!
After you get such a fun recipe like this one, take some photos, and add the recipe to a Quick Page. This will keep it handy to find when the weather gets hot and you want a cool glass of lemonade with a twist!
For this recipe it is best to use raspberries that are on the verge of being overripe.
It will help to sweeten the lemonade and turn it a fun shade of pink too.
Also, to bring out the flavor of the lemons even more, try pounding the lemon slices to release more juice and the oil from the rinds, this extra preparation according to Martha Stewart’s website rounds out the flavor in the lemonade.
Try this Raspberry Lemonade Recipe from Martha Stewart
Raspberry Lemonade:
To make one pitcher:
- Combine lemons, raspberries, and sugar in a large pot. Pound the mixture firmly with the end of a straight rolling pin (or a large wooden spoon), extracting as much juice as possible, about 10 minutes. Stir in water. Pour through a sieve into a large bowl. Press the solids until all juice is extracted. Discard the solids. Serve over ice.
- Cocktail Version: Stir tequila into lemonade. Serve over ice, and garnish with mint.
One thing that came into my mind when I was in the South in a heat wave was lemonade with watermelon, so I was excited to find this recipe!
After I found this recipe I couldn’t resist scrapping it into a fun Quick Page to keep on hand when the weather turns hot!
After I have made my digital scrapbooking recipe pages in either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements I can save them and turn them into a digital PDF album!
If you want to learn how to turn your digital scrapbooking pages into a PDF digital album or recipe book that you can email to family and friends then check out this training – Make a PDF Scrapbooking Album using Photoshop Elements.
Try this Watermelon Lemonade Recipe from Martha Stewart
Watermelon Lemonade:
To make one pitcher:
- Squeeze lemons into a large pitcher; add squeezed lemon quarters. Add mint and sugar; mash with a wooden spoon until mint is bruised and sugar is dissolved.
- In a blender, puree watermelon in batches until smooth; pour through a fine-mesh sieve into pitcher (you should have about 8 cups of juice). Stir to combine. (Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days.) Add vodka, if using; serve over ice
If you are still looking for more exciting Lemonade recipes you might want to check the Sunkist webpage that has several fun recipes like:
- Sunkist Minty Strawberry Lemonade
- Sunkist Orange Lemonade
- Sunkist Strawberry Lemongrass Citrus Fizz
- Sunkist Blueberry Lemon Spritzer
- Sunkist Lemon-Limeade
- Sunkist Jazzy Raspberry Lemonade
- Sunkist Tropical Lemonade
When you are hot, nothing beats an icy cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade!
And when you have found or created those delicious recipes it is nice to have them scrapped and ready to use quickly!
If you are like me and want to save time scrapping, then how can you beat using Quick Pages?
Digital Quick Pages are perfect for sliding digital photos underneath the pre-made layouts, adding a little text and you are done!
That way I can spend more time drinking my cool lemonade!!!
Have a nice day and enjoy some lemonade and digital scrapbooking too!
