Classic lemonade

Applies to: still lemonade built from fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, and chilled water over ice, balanced sweet-tart.

  1. Build the base: combine fresh lemon juice with sugar syrup in the glass or shaker.
  2. Reference build per glass: about 30 ml fresh lemon juice to 30 ml of 1:1 syrup — adjust to taste but keep the sweet-tart balance.
  3. Top with chilled water and stir to combine.
  4. About 150 ml chilled water per glass; a longer pour makes a lighter, more refreshing lemonade.
  5. Fill the glass with fresh ice and give a final gentle stir.
  6. Garnish with a lemon wheel and serve immediately.
