LEMON SHAKE-UP



Lemon Shake-Up image

A quick and easy lemon drink that is often sold at street festivals and the like. I like to make this at home for my daughter- takes up less space than a pitcher of lemonade in the refrigerator, and only a few minutes to make.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 fresh lemon (or more, depending on your taste, size of lemon or how juicy it is)
12 ounces distilled water (may use tap water if you prefer that)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
ice cube (as needed)

Steps:

  • Place water in a covered shaker and squeeze lemon into it until it is completely juiced (you may like to cut the lemon pieces into quarters to do this as they are easier to handle, or use a reamer instead).
  • Pour the sugar into the shaker and add just a few ice cubes to agitate but do not overfill your shaker.
  • Affix the lid or cap and shake mixture until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Pour lemon shake-up into a large serving glass (about a 24 oz size or larger) and add more ice to fill the glass as needed.
  • Drink up and be prepared to make more!

FAIR-STYLE LEMON SHAKE UPS



Fair-Style Lemon Shake Ups image

The State Fair food version of this recipe involves a lot of sugar, (1/2 cup per portion, perhaps?) This is cut down a bit and yet they are still sweet and juicy, with a syrup that infuses the whole drink with sweet lemonade flavor. Cooking time does not include chilling time.

State Fair Lemon-Orange Shakeups image

Those in authority say that this one actually outsells the regular lemon shakeup at the Illinois State Fair. I love both! There's nothing more satisfying on a hot summer day at the fair, or now, at home.
