Lemonade

You can almost taste a glass of ice-cold lemonade when you think about summer. According to Serious Eats, it has the ideal balance of acidity and sweetness and tastes like lemons that have just been squeezed into your glass. Furthermore, this beverage has existed for as long as anyone can remember. According to Forgotten History, a Persian poet is believed to have first written about lemonade in medieval Egypt. Fast-forward to the 1870s, when the "temperance movement" in the United States promoted the consumption of lemonade rather than alcoholic beverages.

Today, lemonade is more than just a non-alcoholic beverage; there are many ways to enjoy it, including with alcohol. Get creative with your cocktails and make a white wine and lemonade concoction for a cool summer drink. Spruce Eats claims that mint and Italian sparkling lemonade can transform this into a wine mojito.
