~"The Master's Chefs"

Frank's variations: Add blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries; blend briefly in blender. Add a few berries as garnish on top.

BJ's Pizza: Wet rim of glass in water, then dip in sugar. Add a mint leaf for garnish on strawberry lemonade, with a slice of lemon on the side of the glass.

Applebee's version: Substitute part of the water with sparkling water.

Pat & Larry's Arizona Grapefruit Juice: Juice your grapefruits and add juice from tangerines. (Oranges might not work as well as tangerines if you freeze the juice.)

Jerusalem Lemonade: Blend a handful of mint leaves into each cup of lemonade. Very refreshing on 120º days!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Sean used his lemonade stand experiences to learn all about entrepreneurship, marketing, and economics. Sometimes Frank put some of neighbor Phyllis's blackberries in the lemonade for an extra quarter. :) BJ's Pizza was a restaurant in Maui (on our honeymoon) and in Portland when we moved there in 2000. We stayed with the Jacksons in 2013 on our trip to visit the baby twins and see the Grand Canyon; their yard was full of citrus trees! And Jaime and I visited Jerusalem with Portland's Singing Christmas Tree in December of 2011, and we loved the mint lemonade with our pizza!
