Lucky Ones Lemonade Recipe | Cool and Tasty Summer Drink

I came up with this Lucky Ones Lemonade Recipe one afternoon when I had a mix of lemons, mint, and a few green apples left over from brunch. I tossed them together out of curiosity, and it turned out so crisp and refreshing that it instantly became a family favourite. It’s got that perfect balance of tart, sweet, and cool, the kind of drink that feels like sunshine in a glass.
