Have a recipe you already enjoy? Share it with us! 





Grapefruit - Mint
I feel like grapefruit is a fruit that people either love or hate.
Add some to your lemonade with fresh mint and everyone will love it!





Blueberry - Rosemary
Blueberries are full of flavor and essential vitamins & minerals!
Combining them with a few sprigs of rosemary to your lemonade create it's very own mood.





Peach - Lavender
Lavender alone elevates your lemonade so much.
Adding some cut-up peaches with the lavender makes it the perfect sweet drink!





Strawberry - Basil
A delectable twist on strawberry-lemonade! 
Adding a couple of basil leaves into the diffuser with cut-up strawberries elevates this classic drink!





Blackberry - Mint
Blackberries can be tough to eat because of their tiny seeds but they are full of essential antioxidants.
Their potent color will turn your lemonade into a purple hue and combined with the mint, will make it taste as good as it looks!
