Quick Sparkling Lemonade

3 ingredients Cuisine: American Page updated October 2026

This sparkling lemonade is ready in five minutes and needs no squeezing, zesting or simmering. Powdered lemonade mix and sugar dissolve straight into cold carbonated water, so the drink stays fizzy and tastes like a corner-store soda with a lemon edge. A whole cup of sugar makes it sweet, so serve it very cold over ice at a picnic, cookout or children's party.

Instructions

Pour the cold carbonated water into a 2-quart pitcher.

Add the sugar and the powdered drink mix to the pitcher.

Stir thoroughly until the sugar and powder have dissolved and no grit remains at the bottom. Stir gently so the water keeps as much of its fizz as possible.

Serve the lemonade chilled, over ice if you like.
