Notes

Frozen lemonade concentrate works best since it adds both sweetness and lemon flavor.
Limoncello poured straight from the freezer blends smoother and keeps the drink colder.
Club soda can be used if Pellegrino isn’t available, though the finish will be a little sharper.
For a non-alcoholic version, use lemonade with extra sparkling water and mint.
The recipe is written for four individual glasses but can be scaled up for a pitcher.
