Lemonade is frequently associated with hot summer days. But if you end it there, you are missing out on some of the best that the autumn has to offer.
The juice from Concord grapes makes a perfect pairing with the tartness of lemonade.
This version of lemonade is high on the request list here at the Homestead. Served over ice, it is a perfect end to a warm autumn day – but heated and served steaming hot in a mug, it can also be a perfect ending to a crisp fall night!
Here is how we do it.
Enjoy,

Grape Lemonade
The juice of the Concord grape adds a wonderful quality to this summer-time favorite. You can add or take away from the suggested amount of grape juice – depending on the depth of flavor you prefer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup Concord grape juice
- Ice cube
Instructions
- Combine the lemon juice and sugar in a large pitcher, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add the water and grape juice. Stir and taste for any needed adjustments. Add sugar or water as needed to meet your desired taste.* Serve over ice.
Notes
*Grape and lemon juices vary in intensity and sweetness – depending on your source. We use juice from our own lemons and grapes – and although the flavors of our juices are relatively the same every year, there are slight variations.
Mix up this lemonade and adjust the sweetness and or dilution to suit your taste.
