Homemade lemonade is so easy to make with fresh lemons. And there are so many different lemonade varieties you can make too.

Lemonade reminds me so much of summer. Maybe it’s all the summer nights at carnivals, walking around and drinking lemonade from a tremendous plastic cup with an accordion straw.
We didn’t grow up going to the same carnivals, but you know the cup. Funny how nostalgia works.
Churn up some nostalgia at home with one of these homemade lemonade recipes. Just without the cup.
All of the recipes use fresh lemons in them. In a pinch, you can make lemonade with store-bought lemon juice. But, in my opinion, the best lemonade recipes are made with fresh lemons.

Watermelon Lemonade
I always joke and say that I am the absolute worst cutter of watermelon. I said this to my cousin recently and she was like, “How hard can cutting watermelon be?“ And then she tried to help me cut one for a recipe and realized it’s actually not that easy.
Luckily, when you’re cutting watermelon for this Watermelon Lemonade recipe, it doesn’t matter what it looks like. All of the watermelon flesh is going into a juicer, along with a lot of lemons, so size and shape really don’t matter here.
This is a great way to use up those fresh lemons, and watermelon that caught your eye in the grocery store this summer.
Frozen Peach Lemonade
I am obsessed with peaches from Titan Farms in South Carolina. The friends I made at the CVB in that area send me a bakers dozen every year and they’re fantastic (the people and the peaches). I use those peaches in every way I can, including in Frozen Peach Lemonade.
Since you’re the one making it, you can control how much honey you add as a sweetener, so you can adjust the sweetness to fit your whole family’s taste buds.
Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
If peaches aren’t your thing, I’m pretty sad for you. Just kidding … but I do love peaches. But, like I said, if peaches aren’t your thing, you can make this Frozen Strawberry Lemonade instead.
It’s pretty much the same method as the frozen lemonade recipe above, however — you guessed it — instead of peaches, you add strawberries to a blender with juice from some lemons.
We inhale this when I make it, so, we will look away if you make a double or triple batch because honestly, we listen and we don’t judge.
Frozen Orange Lemonade
Mandarin oranges are frozen and then combined with lemons and sweetener to make this Frozen Orange Lemonade.
It has a little bit of a different consistency if you peel the orange slices versus if you don’t, so keep that in mind when you’re making it. Don’t worry, the recipe post below goes into way more detail about this.
