Freckles are Delish!

Full disclosure, I love me some lemonade like I love a red head with freckles.  And to be clear, that is a LOT.  (Total redhead envy over here.  Insane jealousy.)

And yes, there is a super embarrassing story from my childhood involving a bad day, hypoglycemic fit and a restaurant JUST running out of it at the table next to ours.  Tears ensued.  I'm not proud of the emotional breakdown in which this delicious, summery beverage was literally the straw that broke the camel's back but my love of it remains the same.

Sadly, my awareness of sugar's harmful side effects and overall health require me to pay a little more attention than I did, say 20 years ago.  I'm always trying to find little ways to eliminate excessive sugar from the things I love.  (And just to be clear, my definition of excessive means when not in the form of cocktails or delicious desserts.)

Low and behold, I present Light Freckled Lemonade.  Less than 100 calories in the pitcher and still full of taste.
