Lemonade on this page includes ready to drink lemonade in bottles and cartons, frozen and shelf stable concentrates, and powdered drink mixes. Ready to drink lemonade is the most convenient, while concentrates and powders save space and money and let you adjust the strength. The first decision is how you will serve it, because a carton in the fridge suits everyday drinking, while a powder or concentrate suits parties, picnics and long storage.
Sweetness and ingredients are the next questions. Some lemonades are made with lemon juice and sugar, others with juice concentrate, flavourings and sweeteners, and diet and light versions use low calorie sweeteners. Check the juice percentage and sugar per serving, since they vary widely.
Storage and shelf life come next. Among the 9 products that list product shelf life, most fall between 7.8 and 108 days, and 30 days is typical. Chilled lemonade must stay refrigerated and be used within days of opening, while shelf stable bottles keep in the pantry until opened. Powders keep longest and take the least space.
Size and value matter for families. Large bottles and multipacks lower the price per serving, while single serve bottles and pouches suit lunch boxes and travel. Some lemonades are labelled Kosher or Vegan, and pink and flavoured lemonades add fruit juices.
Before buying, check the juice content, the sugar and sweeteners, the size and number of bottles, whether it needs refrigeration, and the date printed on the pack. Shake bottles before pouring, since pulp and juice settle. For parties, a concentrate or powder lets you mix a large dispenser at once and adjust the sweetness to taste, and adding fresh lemon slices and mint makes even a basic lemonade look and taste fresher. Frozen concentrate needs freezer space but keeps for months. For children, lemonades with less sugar or mixed half and half with water are a simple way to cut sugar without changing brands.
