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)

cook's notes

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.

  1. paul REVIEW:

    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.

  2. taggerty REVIEW:

    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.

  3. Katie REVIEW:

    This was very good!
