Notes
- Juice Options. Bottled lemon juice or lemon concentrate can be used to reach the full 1 cup.
- Syrup Swap. Blue raspberry snow cone syrup works well if blue raspberry drink syrup is unavailable.
- Juicing Tip. Microwave lemons 10 to 30 seconds and roll on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
- Make Ahead. Prepare without ice or garnish and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add ice and lemon slices just before serving.
