Lemon Shake-Ups

Lemon shake-ups are a favorite refreshing drink this time of year. Normally, we get them at fairs and festivals, but now you can make them at home too!

If you like fresh lemonade, you are going to love these lemon shake ups. They only take a couple of ingredients and a couple of minutes to make.

During the summer, every fair, festival, and carnival has a lemon shake-up booth. And for good reason, they are delicious.

There is nothing like the super cold, sweet, and tart drink. Plus, you just know you are going to have a good time when you have one in your hand.

Until recently, we only got them at events. Then we learned how easy they are to make at home.

Now we are going to have to buy lemons every week so we can keep making them. This is the official drink of our summer.

You will have to make some too. They are perfect for pool parties, sipping on the deck, or taking your lemonade stand to the next level.

If you prefer to make your lemonade by the pitcher, you should make some homemade pink lemonade or fresh squeezed blackberry lemonade. Both are refreshing and delicious.

Or make some of my grandma’s slushy peach punch or maybe some aloha punch if you have larger crowds. Both are sized for a punch bowl or a 2 gallon dispenser.
