Lemonade just isn't what it used to be. And that's a good thing! Nowadays, you can find fruit-infused lemonades at every coffee shop or bakery. While we love classic lemonade we think it's fun to kick things up a notch sometimes.
Whether it is adding fresh berries to lemonade or experimenting with different herbs or ginger, you can have lots of fun inventing new recipes for lemonade.
Here are some new lemonade recipes to get you started:
