Elizabeth’s Rosemary Lemonade

Lemonade is the perfect hot weather drink. In Texas, I drink a lot of it.

There is something so refreshing about lemonade on a scorching day. But, I don’t need hot weather to enjoy lemonade. Especially, since it is one of my favorite drinks! I like to drink it all year long.

My sister, Elizabeth, makes a really unique lemonade with a surprising twist. She adds fresh rosemary to her homemade lemonade. You might be shocked at this ingredient choice. However, let me assure you, it is really good and a welcomed surprise.

It takes regular lemonade to a whole new level of sophistication. This is the perfect drink to serve at a party or barbecue. To make it extra special, you can serve it with a fresh sprig of rosemary in the glass. You could also freeze pieces of rosemary with water in ice cube trays to make rosemary ice. These ice cubes would look great in this lemonade.

So, if you are looking for the perfect lemonade recipe, you have to try this one.
