This CopyCat Chick-Fil-A Lemonade Recipe was perfect for this warm weather we have had this past week. Lemonade is one of those drinks that I crave most of the summer (along with iced tea of course). The kids love dropping into Chick-Fil-A for a sandwich and lemonade all summer long. Since perfecting my CopyCat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich Recipe, we have not had to make as many trips to Chick-Fil-A lately. With summer just around the corner I knew they would be wanting lemonade to go with their Copycat Chick-Fil-a Sandwiches. So I set our to make our own Chick-Fil-a Lemonade at home.
CopyCat Chick-Fil-A Lemonade Recipe
My daughters friend works at Chick-Fil-A so I went right to the source. I had to find out exactly what makes Chick-Fil-A’s lemonade so refreshing. I was clued in that the recipe is very simple. Sunkist Lemons freshly squeezed, sugar and water. Pretty simple but VERY good!
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (Sunkist Brand is Recommended as it is the brand that Chick Fil-A uses)
1 cup Sugar
5 cups Water
DIRECTIONS
Add lemon juice and sugar to pitcher.
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add water and stir until well mixed.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
The ingredients for this CopyCat Chick-Fil- A Lemonade Recipe are very simple. Grab some lemons (Chick-Fil-A uses Sunkist brand). I found the Sunkist brand at my local Kroger. You could also use any brand lemons I am sure.
CopyCat Recipes are a great way to enjoy your favorite restaurant foods at home. The savings will really add up. Eating out can really break a bunch if done too frequently.

How much does this recipe make?
this recipe does sound simple enough,
I would try to make “Simple Syrup” (easy to make, 1 part sugar to 1 part hot water) with the sugar and water first, then add the simple syrup and the remaining water to the Lemon Juice.. chill then serve
Thanks for the effort, in getting the recipe :)
Really…a lemon is a lemon…and making simple syrup works better than trying to dissolve sugar in lemon juice.
This looks so refreshing!
Thank you for sharing this at Brag About It Link Party on VMG206.

Sounds like a great way to make lemonade. I will say that having worked at Chick fil-A for 10 years, they all use fresh lemons. The corporate office has a set recipe that is to be followed and it calls for fresh lemons to be squeezed. But thank you greatly for a good lemonade recipe.
I was thinking the same thing. I worked there too during high school. I still remember the exact recipe, fresh lemon juice is key.
I love chick fil a lemonade and tea. This recipe looks so yummy. Thank you for linking up at #HomeMattersParty this week. I hope you will come back next week to link up again.
Love these chik fil A recipes, we also try to live as frugally as possible. Eating out adds up and not nearly as good for you. We made the chicken sandwich recipe, we all loved it but my daughter who wasn’t crazy about the pickle juice marinade. But this is also the kid that can’t stand the smell of sesame oil cooking. So now we only make fried rice when she and her brother go out to eat and I always marinade her half breast in buttermilk while ours is marinating in pickle juice. The things we do for our kiddoes!
Where did you get that lemon juicer?
How would I make the diet lemonade?
To make diet lemonade all you would have to do is substitute the sugar for splenda cup for cup.
This sounds good and I wish I could drink it but lemonade gives me heartburn. Has ever since I was a little girl.
