I have always had a love for fresh lemonade, especially in the summer months. However, I found many mixes were either too sweet or too tart. I tested several recipes to share with you all, searching for the one that struck the perfect balance between sweet and tart. The winner was one actually my mom and I tweaked so much we could call it our own. It's very lightly flavored, not too sweet, not too tart and leaves a refreshing taste in your mouth (my husband can't get enough of the strawberry flavor). So if you're having company over and want fun, refreshing drinks to serve with not much effort...opt for an assortment of flavored lemonade.
