Ahh sweet summertime! Have you ever driven by a lemonade stand and instantly realized how thirsty you were? It is scientifically proven that lemonade stimulates your taste buds with is sour and sweet flavors more than any other drink! So, naturally, it makes the perfect drink for those hot days in summer!
Now, add in smoke and grilled lemons and the Smoked Grilled Lemonade will be the official drink of summer!
When life hands you lemons, grill ’em
Grilling lemons brings out SO much flavor, so if you have the time, I suggest grilling and squeezing those lemons for your smoked lemonade. I love grilling lemons to squeeze on top of any seafood dinner, too!
If you don’t have the time to grill the lemons, that’s perfectly fine! This drink will be just as yummy without the grilled flavor.
