Note

Taste preferences vary regarding sweetness. You may wish to adjust the amount of sugar or grenadine to suit your palate.

For a stronger lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed juice rather than bottled.

If you do not have grenadine, you can use red food coloring for the color and adjust sweetness with additional sugar.
