I'm always looking for something new to make to drink during all this hot weather, and this quenched my thirst!

Great lemonade. Not too sweet. Loved the added cranberry flavor. Very refreshing on a hot day :)

I had made up a big pitcher of lemonade from lemons I'd bought at the Market earlier today and, having cranberry juice in the cupboard, I lucked out with this recipe. It is so good. Very tart and sweet and refreshing. Added LOTS of ice.

This was very delicious. We really enjoyed it, and it was great timing because it was quite warm today and we needed something refreshing--this was just the thing! Thanks for posting your recipe, NELady. Made for ZWT5.
