There are actually two lemonade day holidays in the U.S., on which you can enjoy some creative lemonade recipes.
First up is Lemonade Day, May 1st this year (it’s the first Sunday in May), which began as a promotion for a not-for-profit youth program. Lemonade Day helps communities of need, by introducing children to entrepreneurship through starting their own lemonade stands.
Then there’s National Lemonade Day on August 20th, which can also encourage entrepreneurship among young folk but is an opportunity for those of us without young’uns to enjoy a cold, refreshing, sweet-and-tangy glass of lemonade.
For either occasion, check out the lemonade recipes below, which include both enhancements to classic lemonade, and lemonade-based cocktails.
