The days are longer and hotter, and there’s nothing better than a fresh glass of lemonade while you’re outside tending to the grill. We’re not talking about the made-from-a-mix lemonade, either. We’re talking about a homemade lemonade complete with fresh lemon juice, sparkling water for a splash of fun, and some charred lemons for a unique garnish.
