  • Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon - mash and stir the lemon into the sugar - releasing the oils in the rind and juicing the lemon and pulp

  • Now fill your jar or glass with water, leaving an inch or so at the top for room to shake then place the lid on and shake well to combine and distribute the lemon sugar goodness, shake till the sugar dissolves, usually 30-45 seconds
  • Remove the lid, garnish with a slice of lemon if you like, add a straw and enjoy your County Fair Lemon Shake-Up
