Summer Lemonade Stand: Find Your Favorite Flavor

Summer is starting to fade, and the countdown to the first day of school has begun. But there's still time to soak up those golden moments of sunshine and freedom. What better way to savor the last sweet days of vacation than with a refreshing glass of homemade lemonade?

Whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or enjoying a lazy afternoon with friends, lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. Join us as we explore Almond Cow’s zesty, vibrant lemonade recipes for every occasion that will keep the summer spirit alive right up until that first school bell rings. Let’s make these final days of summer as refreshing and memorable as a perfectly chilled glass of lemonade!

For the Kids

For something classic and so easy that the kids can whip it up to serve at a lemonade stand, try Almond Cow's delicious Lemonade/Limeade recipe or our Strawberry Lemonade flavor for an extra zip. Our Berry Lemonade and Mango Lemonade are also made in a snap and are close enough to OG lemonade that even the pickiest kiddos will delight in the treat!

If you’re up for helping the younger ones in the kitchen a bit, there’s one recipe that not only tastes great but will set your kids’ excitement levels to 10. Our Sparkling Dragon Fruit Lemonade has a beautiful bold color and is topped with sparkling water to give it an effervescent finish. It’s perfect for celebrations or just to add some fun to your afternoon.

Single Serve

We have several “Small Batch” lemonade recipes that are ideal for when you just want to quench your own thirst. Our Small Batch Pineapple Lemonade and Grapefruit Lemonade offer a more noticeable tartness, while our Small Batch Peach Lemonade and Orange Lemonade are usually on the sweeter side. For something with a balanced acidity, the Small Batch Raspberry Lemonade is both a gorgeous pink/red color and the perfect mix of tart and sweet.

Just for Grown-Ups

If you're looking to elevate your summer cocktail game, exploring a variety of our adult lemonade recipes is a great place to start. Try our Boozy Blue Lemonade, made with blue spirulina and your choice of vodka, or our Irish Whiskey Lemonade with whiskey, ginger beer, and maple syrup for something with a little more kick. While our Mermaid Lemonade sounds fun and silly, it’s seriously good. Lemonade, blue curaçao, and white rum make this beachy-looking drink a refreshing way to get your cocktail fix.

For Everyone

Searching for a recipe that will satisfy a crowd? These recipes put a unique twist on the classic lemonade, but are well-suited for anyone craving an icy-cold treat. For something light and refreshing, try our Cucumber Lemonade or Mint Lemonade. If you want to impress, go the extra mile with our Honey Ginger Lemonade or Sparkling Lavender Lemonade—made with real lavender and topped with whipped cream.

Finally, you can never go wrong with Tea Lemonade, also known as an “Arnold Palmer.” This drink is named after the famed golfer who liked to mix his iced tea with his lemonade. Adjust the proportions of tea to lemonade to suit your preferences.
