"When Life gives you lemons, make lemonades"

Lemonade is one of the most common and popular drink that spans throughout the world. A refreshing drink that is enjoyed by many not only on a mid summer evening but, also when one needs to be rejuvenated after a long day. The history of lemonade dates back to the Egyptian medieval period. Though lemon was known in parts well beyond the east, written evidence points to Egypt. The Egyptians used to have "Qatarmizat" - a bottled beverage of lemon and lots of sugar. They slowly travelled towards west where they have become the now most popular drink - lemonade. Americans are more attached to this sweet, pucker drink and the lemonade-stands are quite popular throughout the country. Parents have encouraged their kids to run these stands during the summer break. It is a symbol of budding entrepreneurship in American tradition. Is it not exciting and fun to be with a bunch of kids in corner of each street, giggling and enjoying the new experience ? Coming from a different country I find this very amazing. But now, it is considered as against the law and illegal and many stands are shut down.
Well, am a great fan of lemonades. I look forward to this treat every summer. Growing up I usually had the Indian Lemonade "Nimbu Pani" a lot. Then, as I started travelling and exploring many new things, I was introduced to all these spiritzing new flavoured ones like raspberry and strawberry. This watermelon lemonade is one such new liking. These are like bright blends of spritz, to be enjoyed on a perfect summer afternoon lying in the sands of a balmy breezy beach.
