Lemonade is having a glow-up this summer and we’re here for every tangy twist.  

From spicy to sparkling, briny to whipped, this isn't your childhood lemonade stand anymore. Case in point: Gen Z and millennial entrepreneurs are turning lemonade into serious coin, popping up at farmers markets and festivals with $8 cups and wild flavors — some are pulling in up to $10K a weekend.

Even the food blogs are in on it: The Kitchn’s whipped lemonade recipe is a dead ringer for Chik-fil-A’s frosted version — creamy, cold and built for brain freeze. TL;DR: Lemonade is in its remix era. It's sour, it's sweet, it’s everywhere — and it's not slowing down anytime soon. Here are some tangy new collabs that have us pleasantly puckered.  

Let’s start with the snack aisle:  

Utz Lemonade Potato Chips

Available for a limited time this summer only, Utz Lemonade Potato Chips bring together the nostalgic sweet and tart taste of classic lemonade with the satisfying crunch of another seasonal favorite – potato chips. Utz is donating a portion of each bag sold to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, funding critical research and support for children battling cancer.

Popeyes Chilled Pickle Lemonade

Part of their limited-time pickle menu, Popeyes offers a "Chilled Pickle Premium Lemonade," which is a blend of premium lemonade and pickle juice. Not to be outdone, The New York Times offered its own pickle lemonade recipe (because everything's better with brine, apparently).

SONIC's Sweet Topped Lemonades

Dirty soda’s creamy, indulgent twist influenced SONIC’s new Sweet Topped Lemonades. These beverages build on a tart base of all-natural lemonade with a layer of creamy cold foam in three varieties: Classic Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade and Blueberry Lavender Lemonade.
