# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The fresh lemon juice creates this bright, sun-drenched flavor that store bought versions can never quite capture
  • It comes together in ten minutes flat but tastes like something from a professional kitchen
02 -
  • Sugar absolutely must be fully dissolved before serving, or you will end up with a gritty, disappointing drink
  • The flavor intensifies as it sits, so make it slightly sweeter than you think you want it
03 -
  • Make a large batch and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days, though it tastes best on day one
  • Rubbing a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass before pouring makes every sip feel intentional and special
