While searching through Flickr for some backyard beverage inspiration, we came across these beautiful glasses of lemonade. After searching further, we discovered that the delicious beverage inside wasn't just any lemonade, it had been smoked! The pictures of the plump, smoked lemons are almost too racy to share...
Flickr Find: Smoked Lemons & Lemonade
When lemons are smoked over a fire that doesn't go above 225 degrees Fahrenheit, their moisture is retained and smoke makes its way into the juicy liquid left inside.
Use them with your favorite lemonade recipe or check out this one over at Slashfood that involves making a simple syrup and the addition of a little dark liquor. Sounds like a perfect summer taste!
If you'd like to smoke your own lemons at home, simply add them to your smoker while you have other meats cooking. Halve your lemons and they can sit right on the grate or in a pan for easier removal. You may also do this with any of your favorite citrus fruits or even cherries with amazing success!

Oh my god! Those look amazing! Do want! I want a smoker so badly (and a bigger house to use it in).
One of the best things I've ever had was the smoked grapes that accompany every cheese platter at Proof on Main, in Louisville, KY. So simple, and so friggin' good. This makes my mind whirl with ideas of all the fruit one could smoke!

I was eating at a restaurant back in April, and I got a fajita, and the lime that came with it had clearly spent time on the grill. This was totally new to me. In addition to looking cool, it actually made squeezing the juice out much easier and it didn't spray all over it just kind of poured straight down.
