It’s National Lemonade Day—here’s 5 spots to get the best in Bham

Get ready to enjoy a sweet, citrus ice-cold summer drink that we all know and love, it’s time for National Lemonade Day, August 20. We’ve got the best spots in Birmingham to try both the classic drink and all the other innovative twists.

1. Post Office Pies—Lemonade

The standard lemonade at Post Office Pies is already incredible on its own, but what’s unique about the drink here is that you can customize it with five different flavors besides the classic. Cherry, blueberry, strawberry, rosemary and hibiscus-lavendar are all available flavors that you can sip while washing down your wood-fired pizza at Post Office.

We recommend coming back to try every flavor since its kind of hard to choose, but for National Lemonade Day try the rosemary. It’s sweet, slightly herbal flavor doesn’t disappoint
