Best Mint Lemonade Recipe
A friend introduced me to an adorable little outdoor restaurant in Houston Texas when I was there for a visit a few years ago. It's tucked inside a very unassuming part of town and serves the most delicious food.
They have the most amazing vegan burger made from beets and they also serve Mint Lemonade. I don't know if it was because of the heat or what it was one of the best Mint Lemonade recipes I have ever had. I came home with the intention of recreating that lemonade recipe with mint so I could have it at home any time I wanted.
I even grew 2 large pots of mint so I was sure to have enough mint to get me through the summer! You could even make a big batch and put in a drink carrier for trips to the pool or the beach.
Whipping up a refreshing batch of this lemonade is a great way to beat the heat and indulge in this tangy sweet goodness.
How to Make Homemade Mint Lemonade
There are many ways to make lemonade. I wanted to create one I could have any time of the year and was minimal work.
This mint lemonade recipe can be made from bottled lemon juice or fresh lemon juice. If you have a lemon tree close, it is particularly amazing with fresh lemons.

Mint Lemonade Tips
- You can use fresh lemons or lemon juice from a bottle.
- Use sliced lemons in your lemonade for garnish
- You can keep the mint in the lemonade for a couple of days. The second day is the best! There's so much mint flavor!
- Keep your lemonade pretty strong so when you add ice right before serving, your lemonade isn't watered down.
