Entrepreneur Dave Barham opened the first Hot Dog on a Stick
location in Santa Monica, California near famed Muscle Beach.
That was in 1946, and today the chain has blossomed into a
total of more than 100 outlets in shopping malls across America.
You’ve probably seen the bright red, white, blue and yellow
go-go outfits and those trippy fez-style bucket hats on the
girls behind the counter.
In giant clear plastic vats at the front of each store
floats ice, fresh lemon rinds and what is probably the world’s
most thirst-quenching substance — Muscle Beach Lemonade.
It’s a simple concoction really. Only three ingredients.
And with this TSR formula, you’ll have your own version of the
lemonade in the comfort of your own home at a fraction of the price.
Check back next week and we’ll have the secret formula for a
taste-alike version of the cornbread coated hot dog — stick
and all.
1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
7 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
1. Combine the lemon juice with the water and sugar in an
2-quart pitcher. Stir or shake vigorously until all the sugar
is dissolved.
2. Slice two of the remaining lemon rind halves into fourths for
a total of eight pieces, then add the rinds to the pitcher. Add
ice to the top of the pitcher and chill.
3. Serve the lemonade over ice in 12-ounce glass and add a lemon
rind slice to each glass.
Makes 2 quarts, or 8 servings.

this is all wrong. non of this is true, way to be ugly and try to give the recipe way. im sure dave would not approve. fresh squeeze lemonade made every two hours by college students is bomb. dont try to gip yourself. just buy our lemonade.
Melissa says
Just because you’re a former hot dogger doesn’t mean that you have to abuse the rules. You have no respect for the company and Dave. What a shame.

Sorry 2 tell u ur recipe is missing one more ingredient. As a former HDOS hot dogger, I made it every 2 hrs… It’s called ” “the stuff” it’s basically citric acid to add just a punch to the flavor. Anyway, just add a spoon for each gallon.
