Shake Shack Yuzu Honey Lemonade Recipe
It’s summer, and there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to complement a fun gathering. Imagine sipping on a glass of ice-cold lemonade infused with the Asian citrus wonder, yuzu.
Equipment
- Pitcher
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 7 oz. fresh lemonade
- Ice cubes
- 1 oz. Monin Yuzu Purée
- 1/4 tsp. grated ginger
- Lemon slices
- Mint leaves.
Instructions
- Start by squeezing fresh lemons. You’ll want about 3-4 lemons depending on their size. Strain the juice to remove any pulp or seeds. This pure, zesty juice forms the base of your drink.
- In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemonade and Monin Yuzu Purée. Be sure to mix well. Allow both flavors to mingle in the pitcher. The beauty of this step is in seeing how the vibrant colors come together!
- Next, sprinkle in the grated ginger. This adds warmth and a unique flavor note, enhancing the drink's overall experience. Stir it all together using a spoon until the ginger is evenly distributed.
- Grab your favorite glasses, and fill them with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade mixture over the ice. It should land with a satisfying splash. The ice will cool the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Lastly, garnish your lemonade with thin lemon slices and a few mint leaves. The visual appeal matters, trust me! These not only beautify the drink but also release their fragrance as you take a sip.
Notes
- Adjust Your Sweetness: If you prefer your lemonade sweeter, feel free to add more honey gradually until you hit the right note.
- Zest the Lemon: For added lemony punch, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest into the mix.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the lemonade base ahead of time. Store it in the fridge and add ice when serving.
- Chill the Ingredients: For the ultimate refreshing drink, chill both the lemonade and yuzu purée beforehand.
- Experiment with Herbs: Basil can also substitute mint for a different profile; don't hesitate to explore.
