Ball Park Lemonade

I have so many special memories of summers from my childhood. One such memory was sipping my mom’s homemade lemonade on the porch swing in the late afternoons. My mom still makes the best lemonade in three counties, and there was no better way growing up to end a long, hot day. Nothing in life was better except for the great conversation and laughs on that old porch swing. I have since made memories with my daughter.  Memories that include our favorite lemonade. 

 

As I’ve gotten older and a lot busier, I admit I tend to do things a little differently than my mom. I have a few unique homemade recipes of my own, and I admit that I tend to navigate more to the tasty semi-homemade recipes. The ones where it takes less time but still tastes great. Anybody?

I first tasted this savory Ball Park Lemonade recipe when my daughter played softball, and I volunteered at the concession stand. This explains the “ballpark” name. We made a quick recipe for the concession stand, and many visitors to the park stood in line for this tasty drink.

On this hot, busy day, I thought there was no better way to take a long-needed break than to make some good old lemonade and reminisce, Ball Park Style.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and make lemonade memories of your own.

(This recipe makes a half gallon. You can double the gallon ingredients and add more lemons and oranges.)

 

1 cap full of Country Time Lemonade Mix (I always use the Country Time brand. I have tried the generic, and they are not as good in this recipe.)

1/2 cup of sugar

1 Lemon

1 Orange

Water and Ice

Add the lemonade mix and sugar into a pitcher. Add enough water to mix well. Slice the lemon and oranges (I used two today only because they were very small) and put them into the pitcher. Add enough water to fill your pitcher to make a half gallon. Pour over ice, and then Enjoy!
