- The beauty of lemonade is that you can make it by eye, adjusting it to your own taste preferences. If you like sweet soda, use 100-120 ml of lemon juice and 140-150 g of sugar. For a more intense citrus flavor, combine 150 ml of lemon juice and 100-120 g of sugar. These grams are calculated for 1 liter of lemonade.

- To extract more juice from a lemon, roll it on a hard surface, dip it in hot water for a few minutes, or microwave it for 10 seconds.
- Instead of adding sugar to your lemonade as usual, use boiled sugar syrup.
- Classic lemonade is the base for a variety of other lemonades. Add raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, or other favorite fruit or berry puree to the finished drink. Stir well and strain if necessary—the flavor is guaranteed.
