8 servings Orange, pineapple, raspberry, white grape juice, or other fruit juices may be combined with lemonade or limeade. To add a subtle twist, make the sugar syrup with 2 to 3 sprigs rosemary, a small bunch of mint or thyme, or a 2-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced. Let the syrup cool to room temperature and strain before proceeding. For Pink Lemonade, add 3 tablespoons grenadine. To make an Arnold Palmer, mix equal parts lemonade and Iced Tea. For a tarter beverage, use the smaller amount of sugar listed below.
