Old Fashioned Lemonade with Pulp
What it is
This is a classic lemonade beverage. It is made with real lemon juice and contains pulp, which gives it a more natural texture and flavor. The drink is lightly carbonated, offering a refreshing fizz. It is designed to be a convenient and ready-to-drink option for those who enjoy the taste of homemade lemonade without the effort of making it from scratch. The inclusion of pulp provides a slightly more complex mouthfeel compared to smooth lemonades.
