12 Lemonade Hacks to Help You Win Summer
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!
Here are a few ways to "hack" a glass of lemonade. For your convenience, the name of each beverage is a link to the recipe. Now you have no reason not to dissolve all your enamel away with a delightful glass of citric acid and sugar. Enjoy (preferably with a striped paper straw)!
