This hand shaken State Fair Lemonade is a sweet and sour festival classic made at home. It uses the entire lemon for optimal flavor, there is no peeling required, and it is done in 5 minutes (nothing complicated).
Wash the lemons: Run the lemon under cool water, rubbing away any visible dirt. Brush with a stiff bristled brush, rinse once again, and wipe with a clean towel.
Roll the lemon on the counter a few times using firm pressure.
Cut the lemon in half and then in fours.
In each jar, add 4 lemon pieces and ¼ cup of sugar.
Muddle the lemon and sugar together until the lemons are broken down and the lemon juice is fully released.
Fill each jar with ice and then top with water.
Tightly screw lid on the jars and shake thoroughly. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
