Pink Moon Lemonade

Rumor has it that on the night of the Pink Moon, the veil between Spring and Summer grows thin, thus allowing magic to flow more freely into the world below. The earth stirs with it. Strawberries grown during this time are said to reach their peak sweetness, their color deepening to a red so rich it borders on sacred, while lemons grown under its glow carry a tanginess so bright it awakens even the heaviest of hearts.

It is no surprise, then, that the wise ones knew this was the ideal time to brew pink lemonade.

For generations, elders would leave a glass of freshly brewed lemonade on their windowsills as an offering to the goddess as a gesture of gratitude for the returning warmth, and a quiet prayer that summer would find them well. And if you listen closely on this night, you can hear the season turn by the sound of cicadas singing and the wind rustling through newly grown leaves.

We like to think every sip of Pink Moon Lemonade carries a little of that magic with it. Consider this your offering.
