Best Lemonade Overall<\/h2>\r\n

Simply Lemonade<\/h3>\r\nFor a lemonade that'll please everyone at your next backyard bash, add\u00a0Simply Lemonade<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>to your cart.\r\n\r\nPouring a glass of this lemonade, you'll notice the homemade<\/a> style right away thanks to a bit of pulp and a pale yellow hue. Tester after tester remarked how these two factors make a lemonade seem more appealing.\r\n\r\nBut what about the taste? \"This has a nice, clean, bright lemonade flavor,\" says our Test Kitchen's Mark Neufang<\/a>. And Mark hits it right on the head: Simply Lemonade is refreshing and has the perfect balance of tartness, sweetness and lemon flavor. In Mark's words, \"this would be great served over ice on a hot summer day.\"\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Simply-Lemonade-Bottle-52-fl-oz\/757977763?athbdg=L1200\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Tart Lemonade<\/h2>\r\n

Newman's Own Lemonade<\/h3>\r\nDo you like a little extra pucker in your lemonade? Get more sour power with Newman's Own Lemonade<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nAccording to Sarah Tramonte<\/a> in the Test Kitchen, \"this brand has a tartness that so many other lemonades lack.\"\r\n\r\nThat's thanks to plenty of fresh lemon juice and even a bit of lemon pulp inside. Sure, you'll get a little sweetness\u2014it is lemonade, after all\u2014but Newman's Own has that extra oomph of acidity that can be so refreshing on a hot day.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Vons\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.vons.com\/shop\/product-details.138050201.html\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Sweet Lemonade<\/h2>\r\n

Florida's Natural Lemonade<\/h3>\r\nIf you prefer your lemonade on the slightly sweeter side, snag yourself\u00a0Florida's Natural Lemonade<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nThis pleasantly pale yellow lemonade had a nice sweet finish that tasters really enjoyed. But when we say \"best sweet lemonade,\" we don't mean that Florida's Natural is overly sugary. Instead, this lemonade really has a great natural lemon flavor and plenty of acidity with just a smidgen of extra sugar to satisfy those of us that like drinks with just a touch more sweetness.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Florida-s-Natural-Lemonade-59-oz\/155351139\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best State Fair-Style Lemonade<\/h2>\r\n

Tropicana Lively Lemonade<\/h3>\r\nOn a hot day at the state fair<\/a> (or any other outdoor festival), no one is immune to the calls of the lemonade stand. The smell of freshly squeezed lemons, the sound of the juice being shaken up over ice, the sight of the finished drink being poured into tall cups\u2014it's irresistible. These state fair-style lemonades taste super fresh and are often a little mild\u2014ideal for a summer day.\r\n\r\nFor a lemonade that brings back those memories, try Tropicana Lively Lemonade<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Target\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/goto.target.com\/KjDLoA\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n

Best Pulp-Free Lemonade<\/h2>\r\n

Minute Maid Lemonade<\/h3>\r\nWe get it: Not everyone likes pulp in their drinks. While this normally applies to orange juice, you'll also find a pulp in some lemonades. For a super smooth sipping experience, try\u00a0Minute Maid Lemonade<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis lemonade is wonderfully sippable. It's milder but has that tart (not sour!) flavor we're looking for from a tall glass of lemonade.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Minute-Maid-Lemonade-Real-Fruit-Juice-2-Liter-Bottle\/15610416\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"49501\"]\r\n
