1-3/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice, from 8-12 lemons, strained
1/2 pound (8 oz.) raspberries, plus more for serving
5 cups water
1 cup sugar
Lemon wedges, for serving
Fresh mint, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the raspberries and ½ cup of the lemon juice in a blender; purée until smooth, then pass the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl to strain out the seeds (the fastest way to force it through is by pressing a ladle against the strainer in a circular motion). Add the remaining lemon juice, water, and sugar to the bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Taste, then and add more sugar, lemon juice or water if necessary (keep in mind that ice cubes will water it down). Pour into glasses with ice cubes and garnish with lemon wedges, raspberries and fresh mint, if desired. The lemonade will keep in the fridge for a few days.

CheeseCake Factory Copycat Recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- Extra sugar for the rim of your glass
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring often, in a small saucepan until the sugar has completely dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- Puree the raspberries in a blender or food processor add in the simple syrup and lemon juice.
- Add extra water (or Sprite, if you want it fizzy - but it won't be like Cheesecake Factory's recipe) to thin it out to the consistency and flavor that you like.
- Run a lemon slice around the rim of your glass, dip the glass in sugar, and serve with ice.
