Lemonade by Niagara Mist

Niagara Mist has come out with fun, fast summer drink recipes and we thought we would share them here, for your convenience. Try refreshing Niagara Mist Lemonade! Recipe is below or you can click on the image above if you would rather view a video of this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 large lemons)
• 3 cups Niagara Mist wine
• Fresh or frozen whole fruit, such as strawberries, cherries, raspberries, or blueberries
• Ice

Steps:

• Make simple syrup by whisking sugar in boiling water until dissolved; cool to room temperature.
• Stir in lemon juice. TIP: lemon syrup can be made ahead & stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• To serve, combine 1 part lemon syrup to 2 parts Niagara Mist wine. TIP:To make a pitcher, combine the whole batch of lemon syrup with one 750mL bottle of Niagara Mist wine.
• Fill glasses with fruit & ice. TIP: Using frozen fruit will help keep your lemonade nice & cool on a summer day without diluting the flavour.
• Pour lemonade over fruit & ice and garnish with fresh lemon.

Additional Tips:

A cherry or berry flavoured wine is delicious in this summery drink. We used Niagara Mist Black Cherry Pinot Noir, but also try this recipe with these other delicious Niagara Mist flavours: Raspberry Merlot, BluePom White Merlot, Strawberry White Zinfandel, or Wildberry White Zinfandel.

Makes about 6 servings, or 1 pitcher.
Cheers!
