But why settle for plain old lemonade when you can jazz it up? Today, we’re diving into the delightful world of Raspberry Mint Lemonade. It’s not just a drink; it’s a summer sensation!

Fun Facts About Lemonade

Before we get to the recipe, let’s sprinkle in some juicy trivia about lemonade. Did you know that lemonade has been around for centuries? The earliest recorded lemonade-like drink dates back to Egypt in AD 1000, called “qatarmizat. ” This ancient version was a mix of lemon juice, water, and sugar.

Lemonade variations are as plentiful as summer days. From sparkling lemonades to lemonade cocktails, you can find a version for every kind of palate. One of the most popular variations is the classic pink lemonade, which initially got its hue from berries or even a splash of grenadine.

*You can also try adding any other berries or fruits you love! Do not be afraid to experiment!😋
