🍋🍹 National Lemonade Day - We’re Making It Hard

August 20 | A Classic Summer Favourite, With an Adult Twist

🍋 Why We Celebrate

Every August 20, National Lemonade Day celebrates one of summer’s simplest pleasures: cold, refreshing lemonade.

But around here, we think lemonade can be even better with a little adult upgrade. From hard lemonades and citrus coolers to vodka sodas and lemon-inspired cocktails, there are plenty of ways to celebrate while keeping things refreshingly grown-up.

🍹 What Makes Hard Lemonade So Good?

Hard lemonade takes everything we love about the original - bright citrus, a little sweetness and plenty of refreshment - and adds a boozy twist.

Depending on what you’re drinking, you’ll find everything from:

• 🍋 Classic hard lemonade - sweet, tart and refreshing
• 🫧 Sparkling lemon coolers - light, bubbly and easy-drinking
• 🍸 Vodka lemonades - simple, crisp and dangerously refreshing
• 🍓 Flavoured lemonades - strawberry, raspberry, peach and other fruity twists
• 🌿 Cocktail-inspired options - creative takes on the classic lemon-and-booze combination

☀️ Made for Summer

There’s a reason lemonade and hot weather go hand in hand.

Hard lemonade is an easy choice for backyard BBQs, patios, cottage weekends, pool days or just relaxing outside on a summer evening.

Serve it ice cold straight from the can or bottle, pour it over ice, or dress it up with fresh lemon slices and fruit.

🍸 Make Your Own Hard Lemonade

You don’t need a premixed hard lemonade to join the celebration.

Start with your favourite lemonade and add:

• 🍸 Vodka for the classic
• 🥃 Bourbon for something richer
• 🍹 Rum for a tropical twist
• 🌿 Gin for a bright, botanical version
• 🫧 Sparkling wine for some extra bubbles

Add plenty of ice and a fresh lemon wedge and you’re ready to celebrate.

🍔 What to Serve With It

Bright, citrusy hard lemonade works especially well with summer favourites:

• 🍔 Burgers and grilled sausages
• 🌮 Tacos and nachos
• 🍗 BBQ or spicy chicken
• 🦐 Grilled shrimp and seafood
• 🍕 Pizza
• 🥗 Fresh summer salads

💛 Why We Love It

Lemonade is already one of the quintessential drinks of summer. Making it hard just gives us another reason to enjoy it.

It’s cold, citrusy, refreshing and uncomplicated - exactly what an August drink should be.

🍋 Celebrate National Lemonade Day - The Hard Way

This August 20, skip the lemonade stand and reach for something a little more grown-up. Crack open a hard lemonade, mix your own, or discover a new citrus cooler to enjoy while summer is still going strong.

When life gives you lemons… make them hard. 🍋🍹
