Because, sometimes just lemons aren’t enough. ;)
Really, though I just tried out this recipe idea for fun and it turned out yummy! Love it when that happens.
The recipe is simple…as it should be:
FOUR CITRUS LEMONADE
1. Make a simple syrup:
1 cup sugar + 1 cup water = simple syrup Stir until dissolved and boil/simmer until thickened like I did with THIS recipe. optional: To make a mint infused syrup (which pairs well with the blend of citrus), add a bruised sprig of mint to the sugar/water mixture. Let syrup cool.2. Juice:
1 grapefruit 2 large oranges (or 3 small) 7-8 lemons 2 limes + slice up some of each kind of citrus for garnish3. Mix:
simple syrup + citrus blend of juicies + 5-6 cups of water + garnish slices of citrus =
A fusion of deliciousness and beautiful eye candy. :)
I left the water amount variable so that you can mix your lemonade to your preferred dilution. I like mine strong and sour, but my man likes his less tart. So I usually always add water to his cup when I pour him a glass.
Truth be told, really, either way is goo-ood.

You are so kind. Thank you!!
Just reading this made my mouth water! I love limeade and lemonade so there’s no way I won’t be trying this recipe out, thanks!
I don’t normally buy grapefruits… but now I have to. This looks delicious! =) I love the photos.
Thanks Charity! :)
Yum! I love lemonade but never would have thought to try it with other fruit. Will definitely have to try this!
Thanks Sarah!

Hello!
I made this today and it was delicious! I sweetened it with some of the simple syrup as well as a bit of maple syrup to add a little something extra. Either way this is a great recipe!
Awesome! So glad you liked it! The maple syrup sounds yummy.
