Refreshing!

It thrills me when the May and June brides book us for their wedding reception and insist on having lemonade served because we don't serve just any old lemonade. No sir! Thanks to this recipe from allrecipes.com, Ginger Infused Lemonade has earned its rightful place on our drink menu. I personally prefer my lemonade to be a bit sweeter than how this was originally written, hence my notes about adding anywhere from 1/2 cup to a full cup more (I'm a true Southern gal, ya know). I have also successfully used crystallized ginger in this recipe. And P.S.....I'm actually quite proud of this photo that I took. Probably the prettiest one on my blog so far!
