ICE-Elation Lemonade
Remember when it was warm? We sure do. If you happen to live further south like us Houstonians (where we have seasons like cool, warm, hot, and boiling) you’ll be able to enjoy this beverage mid-December.
Best served
In warmer climates: With the AC set to 65°F (to get into the holiday spirit). In colder climates: In a hot tub. Wait...is that a lobster?
