is it ok to blend a whole lemon

Lemons are a highly nutritious and versatile fruit, and blending a whole organic lemon instead of just squeezing the juice provides several additional health benefits.

Blend and Strain Your Whole Lemon Lemonade Well

You don’t have to have a high-speed blender for this drink; you just have to make sure that the large chunks are well blended.

The blender extracts a lot of flavor but you will end up with pulp that needs to be strained out to achieve the expected lemonade consistency.

You can toss the pulp if you choose, but you can also spoon it into an ice cube tray and freeze it to pop into smoothies or frozen cocktails (like daiquiris) later.

Serve the Blender Lemonade Solo or as a Mixer

If you want play around but keep it alcohol-free:

• Go fifty-fifty with iced tea for an Arnold Palmer.
• Add a splash of sparkling water—flavored or not.
• Use it in a smoothie with berries or other citrus.

If you want a little booze, this is a great mixer—it’s like adding citrus and bitters all at once:

• Add a little gin and club soda, and you have a bold Tom Collins.
• Try mint and tequila for a Lemon Mojito vibe.
• Mix with bourbon for an easy Whiskey Sour.
