Ingredients and substitutions:
- Lemon juice - fresh lemon juice is the star of any great lemonade. I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled lemon juice for the best flavour.
- Maple syrup - this is used to add natural sweetness to this drink to help contrast the tart flavour of the lemon juice. You could also sweeten this lemonade with honey if you prefer.
- Huckleberry syrup - huckleberry syrup gives this lemonade its unique flavour. You can either use homemade huckleberry syrup, or use pre-made huckleberry syrup. When shopping for huckleberry simple syrup try and find one made without artificial flavours if possible so that this drink has the best huckleberry flavour possible.
- Water - to help ensure the ingredients aren't too concentrated.
