State Fair Lemon-Orange Shakeups

Those in authority say that this one actually outsells the regular lemon shakeup at the Illinois State Fair. I love both! There's nothing more satisfying on a hot summer day at the fair, or now, at home. Show more

  3. Serve in a tall glass and garnish with a couple of orange or lemon slices if desired.
  4. If you just want a lemon shakeup, simply use a whole lemon and omit the orange.
