Country Time Lemonade Giveaway

The warm weather is here and the long days of summer, and nothing makes friends and family smile like lemonade.  Simply put, it’s a classic — a staple of the season that everyone enjoys drinking to cool off.

Whether your spending time in the backyard, at the park or just in your kitchen, Country Time Lemonade hits the spot.  It’s available in Traditional and Pink, and is a delicious blend of sweet and tart that will stir memories of summers past and remind you of what warm weather is really all about.

We were able to try some Country Time Lemonade this week, and while it’s always tasty and refreshing when just mixed, you can kick it up a notch and used a recipe from Kraft Foods.

Berry Lemonade Coolers

Picture from Kraft

• 1 Cup of Country Time Lemonade Flavor Drink Mix
• 6 Cups of Cold Water (Divided)
• 12 oz. of Frozen Unsweetened Strawberries (Do Not Thaw)

1. BLEND drink mix, 3 cups water and berries in blender until smooth.
2. POUR into large pitcher, stir in remaining water and serve immediately.

Serves 8.

This is easy and quick to fix and tastes good.  It’s not too sweet, but still has zip to it.  This recipe is definitely a keeper!  You will probably want to double it right away, because one batch probably won’t be enough.

Country Time is partnering with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to raise money for pediatric cancer research.  In the past few years alone, Country Time has donated more than $300,000 to help fulfill Alex’s dream of finding a cure for childhood cancer.   You can help.   For every specially marked Country Time Lemonade canister you purchase, a donation will be made to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

This summer, Country Time is proud to sponsor Alex’s Lemonade Grand Stands.

Alex’s Lemonade Grand Stand will have games and activities for the whole family to enjoy! And together, these stands are working toward raising $350,000 for pediatric cancer research to bring us one step closer to finding a cure for all childhood cancers.   Join and help benefit Alex’s cause.  For more information about the individual stands or to make a donation online, please visit: http://www.alexslemonade.org/Grand_Stand_CountryTime.php
