Homemade Lemonade

Lemons were cheap enough so I bought a small 2lb bag today and tried out some homemade lemonade.  I used the ratio of 1 cup sugar: 1 cup water: 1 cup lemon juice.

Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan and boil gently until sugar is dissolved.  Meanwhile, squeeze lemons until you have 1 cup of lemon juice.  Combine lemon juice and sugar water.  Add 3-4 cups of water. 

We got about 1 1/8 cups of lemon juice and just used that with the 1:1 ratio of sugar and water.  It was a little tart so the 1:1:1 ratio is probably good.  I also read that if you use Meyer lemons they are naturally sweet so you may want less sugar. 

Ghetto Margaritas

Pardon the name but that's what it was called when I was taught how to make it and I'm not sure what else to call it.  They're so very yummy and easy.  Be careful though, it's more potent than you think!

1 bottle Corona ( I used lite)
1 can frozen pink lemonade or raspberry lemonade
12 oz sprite (or some kind of lemon lime soda)
12 oz silver tequila (or I've used vodka and it's been just as good.)
