January 25th, 2025 Drink of the Week
This was a bit messy to make but worth the effort – it’s really tart and delicious! You can play around with the amounts, there’s no exact science here.
6-10 lemons or limes (I used lemons)
3 cups water
4 cups lemonade (I used Sprite Zero)
1/4 cup powdered lemonade or sugar (I used Lime Raro)
Wash the lemons/limes and trim the ends
Put them in a blender with the water and blitz until completely pulverised. Yes – put the entire lemon in and blitz!
Strain through a sieve into a jug. This was messy, I used my hands to squash the mixture through the sieve and had a dish underneath to catch the overflow.
Add the lemonade and powdered lemonade/sugar.
Serve with ice.
Enjoy!

Listen to former advertising guru and award winning marketer Simon talk about his powerful turning point with booze, how recovery is a selfish act (and that's OK!), the power of lived experience and peer support, and the parallels between running and recovery.
