If you like your lemonade sour, use ⅔ cup (160 mL) sugar instead.
If you like your lemonade sweet, use 1 cup (240 mL) lemon juice instead. If you do not have red fruit juice, you can replace it with water. The fruit alone will only add a little color, so add a couple drops of red food coloring as well.
You can skip this if you added red fruit juice, but the fruit will add additional flavor and a fresh appearance. Let frozen fruit thaw for a few minutes first. Raspberries add much more color than strawberries. Frozen raspberries add more than fresh raspberries, since the ice crystals rupture the fruit.
If using frozen fruit, let them thaw for ten minutes before you begin.
Squeeze the lemons while you wait, if you’re squeezing the lemon juice yourself.
You may want to add the water and lemon juice ½ cup (120 mL) at a time, tasting in between to see whether you want more lemon juice or more water.
