Grilled lemons and ginger paste give this lemonade a smokey flavor that everyone will enjoy.

Smoked Ginger Lemonade

Preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium-low heat. 

Lightly spray the cut sides of the lemons with cooking spray. Place cut-side-down and grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until charred and very soft. Remove from grill, let stand for 10 minutes. 

Place mesh strainer over a medium bowl and with the tines of a fork, extract lemon juice into bowl, discarding seeds and lemons. 

Place granulated sugar in shallow dish and ¼ cup honey in another dish. Dip rim of 10-ounce mason jar in honey and immediately dip into sugar; fill glass with ice. Add ¼ cup smoked lemon juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/8 teaspoon lemongrass paste, 1/8 teaspoon ginger paste, and a ½ cup cold water. Stir until combined.

Garnish with whole basil leaves and sliced lemon grass, if desired.
