Grilled Lemonade

[Jim Lampe]

start with 5 lemons, slice four in half...



fire up a grill to medium/high heat, I used the ol' Smokey Joe



dip the cut side in sugar then act goofy



place the lemons cut side down, cover the grill and let'er rip for bout 20 minutes er so...



check'em if you like...



when they looked like this, i figured they were done.



lettem rest bout 5 er so minutes before straining them using a fine mesh strainer.



drop the juice in a big pitcher then add 4 cups of clean water and a cup a sugar and slice up your last lemon
toss it all into that pitcher. If your gonna drink it right away, add a buncha ice too.
I made this yesterday for today, so i didn't have any yet, but a small sample. It's pretty dang good
AND I'll be making it again.



Thanks for swingin' by!

Looks refreshing Jim. Good job for the Smokey Joe.

That is so cool! I don't know what is cooler the actual drink or the emogi at the end. Got to try this on.

I'll be darn; when life gives you some Webers, grill a buncha lemonade. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool, Jim. Was worried the lemonade would fall through the grates. Good to see you grilled it while it was still in the lemons.

Would this be great as an Adult Coolaid mixer, asking for a friend......

I like the idea of the grilled lemonade, maybe as a mixer. Have to give that a try.
Jim I know you're a charcoal / wood smoking guy, but I never would have guessed that you owned a Smokey Joe, nothing wrong with that we have one too and it's great for small cooks. But with all your big grill stuff just caught me off guard.

thanks for the nice words everyone
Rich, if i cook on the SJ once a year, it's a lot.
This was 3 weeks ago:

I use it to start the chimney for smokes in the WSMs if i don't use the JJGeorge torch
