Ingredients

  • 1 ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 ounce simple syrup see link in notes
  • 4 ounces water
  • ice

Instructions

  • Combine 1 ounce lemon juice, 1 ounce simple syrup, and 4 ounces water. Mix well. Pour over ice and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have simple syrup on hand, its easy to make. Just follow the instructions in this post: https://selfproclaimedfoodie.com/make-simple-syrup/
You can scale the sugar or lemon to suit your taste, but always start with a smaller amount of water. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out. I find that about 4 parts water to 1 part lemon juice is usually just right.
Serving a crowd? This recipe is written for a single glass, but it's easy to scale:
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 4 cups water
Mix it all in a pitcher and serve over ice. Garnish with lemon slices or mint if you’re feeling fancy.
