Print Recipe

A quick and easy bulk lemonade recipe made from lemon juice concentrate, perfect for summer parties and gatherings. This refreshing drink balances tangy citrus with just the right amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) lemon juice concentrate (frozen or bottled)
  • 1 gallon (3.8 liters) cold water
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups (200 to 300 grams) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Optional: fresh lemon slices for garnish
  • Optional: handful of mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Thaw the lemon juice concentrate if frozen by leaving it in the fridge for a few hours or running the sealed container under cold water for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Measure out 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of cold water and pour into a large pitcher or beverage dispenser.
  3. Add the thawed 12 ounces (340 grams) of lemon juice concentrate to the water.
  4. Add 1 cup (200 grams) of granulated sugar and stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). If sugar doesn’t dissolve well, warm a small amount of water first, dissolve sugar, then combine with the rest.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar in small increments if desired, stirring well after each addition.
  6. Add ice cubes and optional garnishes like fresh lemon slices and mint leaves just before serving.
  7. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, or serve immediately over ice.

Notes

Dissolve sugar thoroughly to avoid graininess. Chill ingredients beforehand for best flavor. Keep ice separate until serving to prevent dilution. Adjust sweetness to taste, keeping in mind chilling dulls sweetness slightly. For a bubbly variation, substitute some cold water with sparkling water. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
