I came across this recipe at 2 separate recipe websites... Allrecipes and Recipezazz. I did modify the recipe to suit my taste. When making the lemonade, I used a bottled lemon juice, as price-wise, it's cheaper, and it still tastes good. Also, for this recipe, you could use cranberry juice, but I used raspberry cranberry juice, and I added a bit more than what the recipe called for. It was a taste preference on my part. Adding less cranberry juice, will make a light pink lemonade. I found this lemonade to be quite refreshing!

1.) In a large pitcher combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and cranberry juice; stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
2.) Pour the lemonade in glasses filled with ice and serve.
3.) Yields: 56 ounces of lemonade
4.) Note: For this recipe, I substituted bottled lemon juice for the fresh lemon juice, plus I added a 3/4 cup of the raspberry-cranberry juice.
