I am wrapping up my first year selling lemonade. I only use fresh fruit. I sell an old fashioned for $6 and add fruit for an extra buck. I sell out at every event. The next event I always have someone come up while we are setting up and say, "yall sold out last time, so I came early to make sure I got one. Mike is right. Try to gage your sales to the number, maybe buy a few more just in case. I had a very successful first year. Shutting it down for the winter, but can't wait for spring! I learned a lot this year and next year is going to be an awesome year. Trust me....lemonade is a fantastic way to get started in the vending business.
Congratulations ❤ quick question … if u don’t mind. …what do I need to sell at events /festivals ? Food permit? Vendors license or soemthing? Thanks in advance
@@STARR828I’m just starting my lemonade business and you have to contact where ever you plan do to it at and ask then their requirements. Usually it’s a business license of that city and temporary food permit
Cesar thank you so much for all of this valuable information. 2023 will be our first year giving Lemonade vending a go and I pray that God blesses us and you as well for being a great person with this valuable knowledge
First year for us as well.. I played with it a bit in 2022 when I had a sandwich food truck, but I was simple and plain. Didn't get far so this year once it warms up a bit, im gonna go full on and destroy it 😉
Cesar. Thanks for all of the help this year and in the past. This was my first year selling lemonades. Thanks to your advice and suggestions it went very well. Had a blast and made a little cash. Sold over 3000 lemonades this year. Today was our last time out for 2022.
I set up at a local pick your own farm. I shot for a 6 drink lemonade menu each time I set up. I sell 32 oz deli cups $6 each no matter what you order. The menu is never exactly the same. This week's menu was.. Lindsey Lohan- strawberry lemonade Tuesday special- pineapple mango lemonade The shocker-. Peach lemonade Trump juice- orange lemonade Rickey Martin- limeade OG - regular lemonade I realize it's a bit much for most but it's what I like to do.
Hello, I just want to tell you that I really enjoy your content. I haven’t got to stand up and running yet. I’m working on the legwork finding the things that I need still working and going to do it part time, farmers markets, and so forth until summer when I have some time off you’re the only guy out there. I think it’s not trying to sell thousands of dollars worth of lemonade equipment for somebody to get started. Not that I think that equipment bad but you’re just a basic nuts and bolts grab the stuff go to Walmart get some tables and let’s get selling lemonade. Anyway, thank you for being real. I appreciate it.
Selling out is awesome. My wife and I are handmade crafts vendors. We are considering a lemonade service. I always want a cold lemonade or tea and usually can only find sodas or bottled water. I'm talking about markets. We do four or more markets a month. Lots of thirsty customers waiting. These services are important. This has been a great video and good luck to you all.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! It means a lot! I hope you get a chance to watch some of my other videos as well. Thanks for watching this old man ramble on about the business I love!
I just found your video most definitely about subscriber brother.. Im a beginning so if you don't mind i will need some coaching or some knowledge. If i done it i want to do it right like you said.. God Bless You and Thank You.
Man thank you for the videos, your very inspirational. I havent started yet, doing my due diligence. Wondering if you can help me with a few questions. If I use 32oz cups, how many lemons would I need to use per cup and how much sugar ? Do people get turned off when they see the amount of sugar, or should I go simple syrup ? When using fresh fruit, how much goes in a cup for the taste profile ? Trying to figure out costs Thank you in advance, John.
@@sixstringer6074 that’s awesome! I have a video coming out today. I think you will really enjoy it! It’s not the recipe video. But one I think that’s really important
Hi, With cleanliness a constant concern to not contaminate the lemonade after handing money or electronic devices, how do you avoid contamination between making lemonade at an event and handling money or processing electronic payments?
I'm just starting the lemonade thing using fresh fruit I'm adding it to my hot dog business hot dogs and lemonade seems to go together i am hoping it does really well for us thank you for your videos they help a lot.

I bet you will crush it next year! After learning lessons this year. Just wait until your third year. You will learn so much in your second year

Thank you for the awesome advice!
Awww!! Thanks for watching!
You are spot-on with 10% number you also have to allow for all of the other people selling lemonade is that number will be reduced
Thank you 4 sharing
Very nice content this one, not that your other advice is bad. Very good stuff. Thank you Mike.
I’m so glad you liked it! I appreciate you watching!

I was at Foodieland this weekend and the lemonade was $10-12. And so delicious.
That’s a high price!

5:37 can you show us how 😩🥹
Hi, With cleanliness a constant concern to not contaminate the lemonade after handing money or electronic devices, how do you avoid contamination between making lemonade at an event and handling money or processing electronic payments?
Gloves on.. gloves off.. 100’s of times
Our events here are expensive to go to.. they charge food trucks as much as $150 - $200 just to show up
I would totally try a bacon lemonade
How much fruit do you add to a 16oz cup
Go 32 oz !!! A 16 oz won't entice them enough to spend money
I'm just starting the lemonade thing using fresh fruit I'm adding it to my hot dog business hot dogs and lemonade seems to go together i am hoping it does really well for us thank you for your videos they help a lot.
Thank you!
Lemonade is so overthought. WTH would you use country time 😂
Some do…. I’m not here to judge lol.
And unless you're up north or out west and California charging more than $6 is highway robbery.... IMHO and I'm talking about including flavors
How about them cheifs
