If you thought lemonade was just lemons, water, and sugar then you are missing out. A little sparkling water is the Applebee's trick for an especially good glass.
1 quart water
1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice
sparkling water (not tonic water, like Perrier)
Mix first three together. Fill a tall glass 2/3 to 3/4 with Lemon mixture then fill with sparkling water.
An interesting variation is to puree some fruit (raspberries, strawberries, etc) with a little superfine or powdered sugar and put that in the glass before adding the the lemonade and water.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Great recipe. I used half a cup of sugar and it was just fine. 50% lemon+sugar+water mix, 50% seltzer water in place of sparkling water. Delicious.

I don't know if this is like Applebee's or not but it's good lemonade. I did the variation with adding some raspberry puree to it and that was quite good. You can adjust either the sugar or lemon juice, of course.
