The first time we made this recipe was for our 7th anniversary, and with having a Ninja Slushi, we wanted to make a refreshing recipe we could potentially throw in there. I grew up on Simply Lemonade and lemonade flavored Kool-Aid, which are delicious, but nothing compares to a cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade.
