- If you want a sweeter lemonade, add more sugar or honey to taste. You can also use a sugar substitute, such as stevia or Splenda.
- To make a sparkling lemonade, add some club soda or seltzer water.
- For a fun and refreshing twist, add some fresh fruit to your lemonade, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
- If you want to make a pink lemonade slush, freeze some of the lemonade in a blender until it is slushy.
