FAIR-STYLE LEMON SHAKE UPS
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. From Saveur Magazine.

Steps:
- Bring the water and sugar to boil in a small saucepan. Boil for five minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Juice 1 1/2 lemons, reserving the fourth lemon half.
- Stir the lemon juice into the sugar syrup; you will have about 1 cup.
- Chill the lemon syrup in the fridge.
- Blend the ice in a blender or food processor until it is crushed.
- Put half the crushed ice in a cocktail shaker, along with half the chilled lemon syrup (about 1/2 cup), along with 1/2 cup ice water. Shake vigorously for a couple minutes, then dump the whole mixture , including the ice,, into a tall glass.
- Repeat with the remaining ice, syrup, and ice water for the second shake up.
- Cut the remaining lemon half into four slices and add two slices to each glass. Sip and enjoy!
