Margarita Toast
To get started, make one pitcher (or more!) of lemonade using this simple recipe:
Fresh Lemonade
Ingredients:
1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed, or frozen if you prefer)
1 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup boiling water (this is called simple syrup–the heat allows the sugar to dissolve)
1) Mix both the lemon juice and simple syrup together in large pitcher
2) Then, add four cups of cold water and ice
To Serve: Sometimes we have the lemonade “on the rocks,” sometimes we have ½ lemonade and ½ freshly brewed ice tea for an Arnold Palmer, and sometimes we have half lemonade and ½ Pellegrino (for a lighter lemony sparkling water).
For kids, you can even dip the glass rim in sugar (the kid version of our Margarita salt).
