Drink Quiz
Lemonade
Like pouring a pitcher of sweet-tart lemonade into glass after glass, you share fun with everyone.
Lemonade is a sweet-tart drink of lemon juice, sugar or honey, and water. It's sometimes made in a big pitcher with ice floating in it and poured out into glasses. Likewise, you tend to prepare one big treat and make sure it reaches everyone there.
In the United States and elsewhere, the lemonade stand is well known: in summer, children set up a little table outside their homes and sell lemonade to passersby. You like to pull the people around you, and even people just passing by, into a little bit of fun.
Lemon's sourness alone is hard to drink, and sweetness alone is too flat. The balance between them is what makes lemonade. You strike a similar balance, adding a little fun to whatever you have to say. And like a cold drink, you switch gears fast: after the fun, you move smoothly on to the next task.
