Refreshing Drinks Christopher Baker from Real Simple Substitute sparkling water for still water in the recipe for classic lemonade, and add 6 to 8 fresh strawberries, pureed in a blender, for a fizzy, refreshing drink.  
Antonis Achilleos When life hands you a hot day, you naturally make lemonade. As the summer wears on, though, you may long for a bit of extra zip. Start with the classic recipe: Place 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 12 lemons), 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a large pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add 5 more cups water, a few slices of lemon to garnish and plenty of ice. To make this lemon-mint cooler, add 1 cup torn mint leaves and two 12-ounce cans club soda to the classic recipe. Citrus-Aide 2 lemons 4 limes 2 oranges Sweetener to taste (ie. 1/3 cup maple syrup) 8 ice cubes Juice the lemons, limes and oranges and pour into a large pitcher. Add the maple syrup or sweetener and stir well to dissolve. Add ice cubes, and top up with cold water. More Variations Combine any of the above, such as Lavender Citrus-Ade or Mint Iced Tea Lemonade. Use sparkling water instead of mineral water. For extra citrusy flavour, shave some of the lemon, lime or orange rind and add to the lemonade.
