Since when lemonade has to be ordinary right? This weekend I served a special lemonade recipe for my husband as a treat after his hard work on a gardening project we have
in the works. I developed this recipe after drinking something similar in Calgary at the
River Cafe in Prince’s Island Park a couple of Summers ago.
It is a really simple recipe, but sure to impress your guest. Here is what you need per glass:
- Juice of half a lemon
- One tablespoon of honey infused with rosemary
- Crushed or small ice
- Sparkling water
- A couple of raspberries
- A straw to mix it
You will have to pour the honey and the juice at the bottom of the glass first, then fill it with ice, pour in the water, then pop in the berries. The idea is for the guest to experience the honey lemon sweetness first as they sip thru the straw. It is like sunshine in a glass…
Enjoy!

Love this idea! Who doesn't love a fresh glass of lemonade in the summertime!? The addition of rosemary feels so "adult". Will definitely try...

It sounds divine! I can't wait to try it. I hope you had a fantastic weekend Catherine :)
Honey infused with rosemary? Now that sounds fantastic! I think I could try that in many ways. The lemonade too is way easier to make than most recipes I've come across.
Lovely photos too!
That is refreshing!! Happy Monday!

My hubby needs a new wife.... This lovely drink would not be waiting for him after 5 hours in the garden! I am very tempting to try it, though! Maybe I will score some extra points!
