Whether you're in Sunbury, Ohio or Galena, Ohio, summer festivals and fairs all across central Ohio always include a lemon shake-up vendor, and this refreshing drink is easy to make in your own outdoor kitchen!

The Classic Lemon Shake-Up

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 - 1 Fresh Lemon (depending on your taste)
  • 12 Ounces Distilled Water
  • 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • Ice Cubes (as desired)

Directions:
  1. Place water in a covered shaker.
  2. Squeeze lemon into the water until it is completely juiced.
  3. Pour the sugar into the shaker and add just a few ice cubes to agitate but do not overfill your shaker. 
  4. Affix the lid or cap and shake mixture until the sugar completely dissolves.
  5. Pour lemon shake-up into a large serving glass (about a 24 oz size or larger) and add more ice to fill the glass as needed.
  6. Enjoy!

Customers often ask us to build large counter areas or work spaces in their outdoor kitchens to make it easier to prepare food and drinks, making it easier to entertain large groups of family and friends.
