The official start of summer is only a week and a half away, and usually, that means it’s time to whip up a cold jug of fresh lemonade. The perfect balance of lemon, sugar, water and ice cubes really hits the spot, and the classic flavor satisfies everyone. Though on occasion you want something especially for the grown-ups, maybe your hosting a cocktail party.

If you’re short on time, then we’ve got a unique recipe with a shaved ice twist to share that ‘s got a little sweetness with a kick of spice to surprise and intrigue the adults at your next get-together.

CHILI LEMONADE
   Tools Needed:
  • Shaved Ice or snow cone machine
  • 10-12 oz. cups or glasses
  • Spoon-Straws
   Ingredients:
  • Lemon juice
  • Lemonade
  • Sweet chili powder
   Recipe:
  • Step 1: Shave ice using your machine, and fill glasses to half full.
  • Step 2: Sprinkle a teaspoon of the sweet chili powder on top.
  • Step 3: Drizzle a layer of lemon juice over this, and then a layer of lemonade.
  • Step 4: Repeat this layering method as per taste.
  • Step 5: Serve with spoon-straws.

For an additional visual appeal, you can top with a real, small red Thai chili, or place a lemon wedge on the side of the glass. This unconventional treat can be prepared quickly, creatively, and with minimal effort.

There are so many interesting versions of lemonade adapted to the grown-up palate and we hope that today’s treat gives you a little inspiration to experiment with your own recipes.
