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.

I'm not a fan of lemon-flavored drinks. I think I'll pass on these lemon shake-ups.

These lemon shake-ups look a bit too sweet for my taste, but I might try them if I can find a way to make them less sweet.
