When Life Gives You Lemons...

Make lemonade, of course! Alex and Ani's Zest for Life bangle has arrived, and 20% of the proceeds go to the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation



We're not ready to give up summer yet, not until we try this awesome pink lemonade recipe from The Cooking Bride! Check it out below!

Homemade Pink Lemonade



Ingredients
½ cup sugar
4 lemon peel segments
5-1/2 cups water, divided
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 10-12 lemons)
¼ cup cranberry juice
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, lemon peel segments, and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
In a large pitcher, combine remaining water, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and salt.
Remove lemon peel segments from the simple syrup. Add to lemonade. Stir to combine.
Pour lemonade through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp, if desired.
Serve chilled.
