Notes
- For best results, use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright and natural flavor.
- Simple syrup can be adjusted to taste if a sweeter or less sweet lemonade is preferred.
- Grenadine not only adds color but a subtle fruity flavor; adjust quantity according to preference.
- Can be made ahead and refrigerated; add ice just before serving to keep it from diluting.
- To make simple syrup: combine equal parts sugar and water, heat until sugar dissolves, then cool.
