For larger crowds, I always make this really tasty non-alcoholic sangria?that tastes better the longer you allow the flavors to infuse. You can double and triple the quantities and make an enormous bowl of ?punch?.

But, my go-to summer drink recipe is still this delicious homemade ginger lemonade made with whole lemons.

Ginger Lemonade With Whole Lemons

You place a whole seeded lemon into your blender with?the other ingredients, and whirl them into a creamy froth. The lemon zest and flesh add a strong, aromatic citrus essence while the freshly grated ginger adds a special zing that makes this gourmet lemonade recipe extraordinary.

Velvet Ginger Lemonade

1 ?- 2 whole organic lemons well scrubbed cut up and seeds removed
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup agave nectar
1 Tbsp of freshly grated ginger, or more to taste
fresh mint leaves
6 ? 8 cups of filtered water, sparkling mineral water, or soda water

1. Place the agave and lemon juice in a saucepan until dissolved. Allow to cool.
2. Place this ?syrup? in the blender (I use a?Vitamix) with the whole lemon (or lemons depending on your taste preference and the size of your lemons) and freshly grated ginger and blend until frothy.
3. Stir through the desired amount of water and serve garnished with fresh mint leaves. You could add more freshly grated ginger for an extra punch.

This non-alcoholic drink is so refreshing on a hot Summer?s day. For a cocktail you could always add in some vodka. ENJOY!
