The real McCoy, like your gran use to make.  Well, maybe.  I've made this loads of time from Delia Smith's recipe. This recipe is best left overnight to get a great flavor.  6 lemons makes 3pints (1.75litres) Chill it with loads of ice, it's delicious. The ratio of lemons to sugar is pretty standard.  It makes a perfect, slightly tart lemonade. You can add more sugar afterwards if you're clinically insane. It can be made with less water to make a cordial, that you dilute when you need it.  This is good for fizzy lemonade, just add fizzy water to dilute it.  Nice. You can make instant lemonade by blitzing lemons with sugar & ice in a blender.  Still nice, but not as good in my opinion. Another few things to try... Add raspberries & grenadine. Add a few sprigs of mint. Switch the lemons for oranges (use less sugar!) or limes.  Probably nice, I haven't tried it yet. Pink lemonade with cherry juice, or cranberry juice. ...

This a delicious lager from a micro brewery based in Alloa - Central Scotland.  3.9%, so not too strong.  It's got a great caramel after-taste. They make a lot of different brews.  CHECK THE FULL RANGE HERE So far I've only tried a few.  There's always tomorrow... I didn't get on too well with their 'Premium Red' to be honest.  Then again I don't really like any Red beers.  I find them too vinegary.  There you go. The IPA (India Plae Ale) is also very good and worth looking out for. They sell this one at Odbins.  They also do online ordering , though you have to order 5 cases minimum.  I can think of worse things.
