The perfect drink for a hot day. I microwaved my lemons for 30 seconds before squeezing them as sometimes I think this makes them juicer. I then added the lemon juice to the sugar and since the juice was slightly warm from the microwave I found it helped to dissolve the sugar. I let the sugar and juice sit on the bench for about 1/2 hour, stirring every once in a while, before adding the soda then put it into the fridge to chill with lots of added lemon slices. A really refreshing drink. Thanks Bev we will be making this alot for our hot Aussie summers.

    Delicious and refreshing. When we used to live in Germany, there was a simliar tasting carbonated lemonade we used to buy regularly. I am so happy to have this recipe as the taste is nearly a match. I used 6 huge lemons in this to get the juice, plus one extra for garnish.

    Perfectly accurate title, Bev. I had printed out this recipe some time ago but only used it this weekend. "Looking forward" to 5 hours of yardwork in 90 degree heat (and 90% humidity), I mixed this up early in the morning. By the time we were ready for our first work break, it was cold and OH so refreshing. I am not a carbonation fan, so used the store brand club soda (not as much "punch" as the brand names), but will try the better stuff next time. The soda neutralizes ALL of that lemon & you end up with the best, most thirst-quenching drink I've had in a long long time. Definitely give this stuff a try!

    This lemonade was pretty good at first, but the next day it was even better! I was worried about it losing it's fizz, but that wasn't a problem. I'll be making this again.

    I have to get one of those lemon squeezer-thingies, so I can make this more easily! It is so good. I used Splenda instead of sugar and it turned out great. Now that I have diabetes, this will be my special drink, since I can't have my green tea with honey any more and I hate diet sodas!! My only problem is keeping the rest of the family away from this!!

    I made this for my BBQ and it was gone when I looked in the cooler. IT must have been good, the pop and punch was passed over for it.

    WOW(Caps intended!), Auntie Bev'll! "Heaven in a pitcher" indeed this is- you should be "CROWNED" - "THE LEMONADE QUEEN" for this! I halved the recipe and made this early today morning using 1 can of 'Everest' brand of Club Soda(355ml) and 1 can of 'Krest' brand of Club Soda (a little over 300 ml). "WOW WOW WOW" - I'm not saying it, I'm just echoing what our AC technicians had to say, when after slogging over our broken down central air conditioner this entire "day", I handed them a glass each of this refreshing drink. They were thanking me endlessly and I was mentally passing on all the "Thank You's" to YOU My bro. says he wants to have this on his 18th Birthday(coming up on 24th Nov!) for his friends at his party! THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES, you're amazin, simply amazing, just GREAT!

    Easy and tasty. My kids didn't like it because it's "different" than koolaid. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the recipe.

    I am a big lemonade fan (in fact I would say connoisseur except I am not sure how to spell connoisseur). This lemonade is the best I have ever tasted! I have on occasion had lemonade similar to this in restaurants but this is clearly the best. Please note that it is not fair to this lemonade if the first time you try it you are not HOT and THIRSTY. So let's be FAIR!

    I have to revise my earlier review. When I first made it I thought it was very bland. After a day it was great. I think you have to give it time to let the flavors mingle. After a day sitting on the counter (not fridge) it was fantastic!
