Perfect Summer Gift

I have made many of the recipes in Lemonade for summer barbecues. My favorite is the Beach Bourbon Slush (which is alone worth the price of the book). It has become a beach vacation tradition our friends ask for every year. In addition, this small book makes a perfect gift with great pictures, simple, easy-to-make recipes, and fun reading. Every person who I have given this book has told me they have tried something in it - from Berry Lemonade to just making regular real Lemonade for the first time without a mix.

Tired of fake lemonade?

I bought this book because I love lemonade. Real lemonade is getting almost impossible to come by though--go to a restaurant and order lemonade and you'll get something that's yellow but who knows what it is! Chances are it will taste terrible. I have made the Old-Fashioned Lemonade from this book, and it is lemonade as it should be. My friends and stepson LOVE it. They always finish the pitcher. I've made it so many times I don't need to look at the recipe anymore. I've also made the Strawberry-Lemonade and that is delicious too, and so easy. Get this book if you are a lemonade lover!

More than you might have imagined on lemonade!

Fred Thompson's "Lemonade" is a small and likeable volume that serves as a companion piece to his "Iced Tea" cookbook. You might wonder how much could possibly be said about lemonade, but Thompson gives you quite a bit of history of the drink--not to mention all sorts of permutations of basic lemonade, ranging from alcoholic to non, sparklers and spritzers, flavored lemonades, and more. It turns out that this traditional summertime drink is a wonderful springboard to all sorts of yumilicious beverages for year-round consumption.This slim volume has great recipes, ranging from Strawberry-Rhubarb Lemonade to Tailgate Spiced Cranberry Lemonade to Vanilla Bean Lemonade. This would make a lovely hostess gift for anyone hosting a hot summer day's picnic!
