At-Home Lemonade (Chick Fil A Copycat Recipe)

With this Chick Fil A lemonade recipe you can have your fill of delicious sweet and tangy juice and enjoy as many refills as you want. Even better, you can use your own cup of choice (something restaurants never let you do).

You also won’t be kicked out of the home for walking around barefoot while enjoying your cold glass of lemonade. No shoes no service doesn’t apply in the comfort of your own home, which adds to the allure of making your own drinks.

This Chick Fil A lemonade recipe is very simple and easy to make, just like the kind you get from their restaurants. We’re keeping it simple and minimal just like them, I mean what good is a copycat recipe is you don’t try to copy the original recipe? 😉

Fun Fact: Chick Fil A makes its lemonade fresh daily at each location. Using fresh squeezed lemons, sugar, and water to create their famous lemonade, you can only wonder how many lemons they go through in a week!

This is also a large reason behind why the lemonade at Chick Fil A is so expensive. A gallon of lemonade can cost almost $10! But we can make it at home for a fraction of that cost if we’re willing to put in a little work.

Thankfully we don’t need nearly as many lemons because we aren’t serving a city of thirsty folks, just you and your family, right?

To get 1 ½ cups of lemon juice out of a freshly squeezed lemon, you’ll need about 6-8 larger lemons, but there’s also a tip to get more juice out of each fruit.

Stick them in the microwave for about 10-30 seconds and then roll it on the counter under the pressure of the palm of your hand before opening the lemon to juice it.

Can I use bottle lemon juice for this Chick Fil A Lemonade Recipe?

Yes, if you don’t have any lemons on hand or they aren’t in season, you can always grab a large bottle of lemon juice from the store and use that instead.

I don’t recommend using bottled lemon juice though, it’s much tastier to juice your own lemons and make it fresh!
