Wine Lemonade

“Into each glass put the juice of half a lemon, one-third cup sweet red or white domestic table wine and one teaspoon sugar or one-half teaspoon honey. Add one-third glass of ice. Fill with water and serve.”

This beverage really does need a sweet wine to balance the lemon juice. Knowing the sugar would not dissolve in the cold drink, I opted for the honey—which also did not dissolve. Either the sugar or the honey should be dissolved first in a tiny amount of hot water (the same method as in Honeyed Milk) or a teaspoon of simple syrup could be used instead.
