Steps

  2. Pour in 6 tablespoons of lemon syrup.
  3. Add 6 ounces of cold water.
  4. Top off with 6 ounces of sparkling or still water.
  5. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Garnish with a lemon slice if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing lemonade.

Tips for Refreshing Lemon Syrup Lemonade

  • For a clear, bright look, use fresh, clear ice; cloudy or cracked ice can make the drink look less polished.
  • Sparkling water gives a lively fizz, while still water keeps the lemonade smooth; carbonation fades after stirring, so keep the mix gentle.
  • A chilled glass helps the drink stay refreshing longer without relying on extra ice that can dilute it.

Storage

This drink is best served fresh. Refrigerate any leftover lemonade promptly in a covered container and use within 1 day; sparkling water will lose its fizz over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make the lemonade ahead?

Mix the lemon syrup and still water ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add sparkling water and ice just before serving for the liveliest fizz.

How can I tell if the lemonade is well balanced?

It should taste clearly lemony with sweetness that does not overwhelm the tang. Adjust the syrup or water in small amounts to suit your taste.

What glass size works best?

A 12-ounce glass accommodates the syrup, water, and ice. Use a slightly larger glass if adding a generous garnish or extra ice.
