One iconic summer beverage of choice for many is the fresh squeezed lemonade found across many of the Cedar Fair parks such as Cedar Point. The Frontier Chill is one such location offering fresh squeezed lemonade, made right in front of you.

Sure you could head over to the Freestyle Cafe and get some of the pre-made Minute Maid lemonade, but it is nothing like that from a pure lemon.

Purchasing a fresh squeezed lemonade at Cedar Point will cost $4.79.

To help get us in the summer mood, we decided to make fresh squeezed lemonade at home.

Want to make your own fresh squeezed lemonade?

Ingredients

1 Lemon, cut in half
2 TS Sugar/Splenda/etc.
Ice
Water

After cutting the lemon in half, we used a juice extractor to squeeze all the liquid out of the fruit. Then the juice, sugar, ice, and water were combined in a cocktail shaker to mix the concoction.

Serve in a tall glass.

For added flavor, consider mashing in some other fruit such as strawberries or blueberries.

Not only is a fresh squeezed lemonade refreshing, but at less than $0.60 per serving to make at home, a great bargain drink.
