Entrepreneur Dave Barham opened the first Hot Dog on a Stick location in Venice, California near famed Muscle Beach. That was in 1946, and today the chain has blossomed into a total of more than 100 outlets in shopping malls across America. You've probably seen the bright red, white, blue and yellow go-go outfits and those crazy fez-style bucket hats on the girls behind the counter.
In giant clear plastic vats at the front of each store floats ice, fresh lemon rinds and what is probably the world's most thirst-quenching substance: Muscle Beach Lemonade. It's a simple concoction, really. And with my Hot Dog on a Stick Lemonade copycat recipe, you'll have your own version of the famous lemonade in the comfort of your own home at a fraction of the price.

I live for summers when the county fair is in season and I can get an awesome glass of lemonade. This version tastes just like that and I didn't need to add anything but water sugar and lemon juice for it to be perfect. I noticed that 4 good sized lemons were enough for this recipe.

I've been making this since it first debuted on the TSR, several years ago. Everyone is always SO impressed that I make lemonade from scratch, lol. It's delicous and refreshing.
