A Smoky Twist on Classic Refreshment
When we first heard about grilled lemonade, we were intrigued by the idea and excited to try it. Our first sip revealed a surprising depth of flavor—it certainly doesn’t taste like burnt lemons! Grilling the citrus enhances its natural flavors, and a touch of sugar caramelizes the surface, creating a beautifully rich and slightly less tart lemonade. This unique twist on a classic drink is a must-try!
Why Our Recipe Stands Out
- Unique Flavor: A fresh take on lemonade that introduces smoky, caramelized notes for a fuller lemon taste.
- Elevates Lemonade: This recipe transforms ordinary lemonade into an extraordinary experience.
As the weather warms up, a chilled glass of homemade lemonade becomes a seasonal craving. We all know that homemade lemonade is far superior to store-bought versions, and this recipe is no exception. Impress your guests at your next gathering with this delightful grilled lemonade!
Ingredient Notes
- Lemons: Cut the lemons in half and dip the cut sides in a bit of sugar.
- Water: Adjust the amount of water and ice to your taste. Less water will give a stronger citrus flavor.
- Sugar: The sugar coating creates the desired caramelization. Avoid other sweeteners like honey as they won’t stick as well.
Broiler Alternative
If you don’t have access to a grill, you can use your oven’s broiler. Place the cut side of the lemons up under the broiler, following the same steps as with the grill.
Additional Uses for Grilled Lemons
After grilling, let the lemons cool for 5-10 minutes, then juice them for a smoky lemon juice. This can be used in marinades or baked goods to add a unique citrus flavor.
Freezing Instructions
To prepare this drink for later, freeze the grilled lemon concentrate in a freezer-safe bag for 3-4 months. Thaw overnight before adding water to taste.
Storage Instructions
Grilled lemonade is best enjoyed cold. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
Serve this refreshing and innovative beverage at your next summer event and enjoy the unique twist on a classic favorite!
