Fantastic lemonade... much better than any other "home-made" lemonade that I've ever had. You'll be able to tell what adjustments are needed depending on your sweetness preference and the size of the lemons you use. A wonderful summer treat.

This was great on a hot day. The first batch we made was a little iffy, you just have to play with ingredients to fit your taste as well lemons vary in taste. Also added more ice less water to make it a little more slushy.

Wonderfully refreshing. The only thing I did differently was add more ice, because I love it super slushie. I'll make this over and over again.

When I made this, I cut back on the water just a bit and added a little bit more sugar. This was just what I needed today, nice and refreshing. It reminds me of the lemonade I've gotten at the fair.

I used the advice of many others and pretty much gutted the lemons and used only the pulp. This was a very mild and VERY refreshing drink, very smooth. On the second batch I mixed lemons and limes and that was also terrific. I think the thing was for me just how refreshing it was, nice recipe and thanks

I made this recipe last night for my family. It came out pretty good, except it too a while to remove the pulp from the skins of the lemons. I also added frozen strawberries in lieu of some ice and my family went crazy over it when it was all said and done!! I'll probably jusr hand juice them next time and go from there!

I substituted 1/3 cup of honey for the sugar in this recipe and it was AWESOME. Not to mention healthier. Also, I am watching my pH and this boosts my alkalinity (that's what most people need)

This is very refreshing. My kids loved it. I did not have a problem with it being to pulpy but I removed the membrane of the lemon also. I like it with just a little more lemon. But this is just yummy.

A very nice lemonade! Next time I will send it through a strainer. I don't like pulp in my lemonade, or ground up seeds either.

After making the changes that the reviewer Jeff (Oct. 18, 2007) had suggested, the outcome was refreshing and the drinks were very simple to make.

Mmmmm, I LOVED THIS DRINK!!! Made it along with the "Easy Lemon Bars" found on this site and served it up for our 5th wedding anniversary. I used 6 small lemons, the zest of 4 lemons 1/2 C. of sugar 1 & 1/2 C of ice, 2 C. of water. I am southern through & through and this beat out any lemonade that I have ever had it my life!!!!

I'm a fan of lemonade and I love slushy drinks, so this drink worked out well for me. I used 2 small/med lemons, and not quite 1/2 cup of sugar. I wanted it more slushy so I put approx 3 cups slightly blended ice, and about 1.5 cups of water. The tart/sweetness balance was good (although this of course can vary between lemons), although next time I might try a little less ice or water. Here are some suggestions: 1) As per other reviews, rather than dumping a whole lemon in there, you need to separate out the lemon flesh/sections from the peel and membrane. Too much peel or membrane in the blender and you'll be chewing through your drink. 2) In my opinion, lemon zest is a great addition. It adds a slight tartness, but more importantly, more flavor and texture. I don't think you need to zest the whole lemon finely... I ended up using a knife to cut small strips from the skin and stuck it into the blender, where the bigger strips ended up being cut into smaller, rice-size pieces) I enjoyed the small chunks of zest in the drink, although those who like their drinks homogeneous will probably want to go with the fine zest. 3) Like normal lemonade, you'll want to taste it before serving to make sure the tart/sweetness level is OK. It's relatively easy to make quick corrections by adding more sugar or more lemon juice from a plastic bottle if you have one available. Next time, I might try replacing some of the ice with lime sherbet/sorbet to see if I can't ge

The whole lemons make this almost un-drinkable. If you must make these, use only lemon juice.

This was great! It isn't slushy like I anticipated, but is very good and made a wonderful (and easy) lemonade. To make more of a slush use 1 cup of water and fill the blender with ice. This is a recipe I will be using a lot this summer. Thank you so much for sharing it!!
