Lemonade
Lemonade was invented in Paris, France in 1630 but remained an exotic drink for most Americans until irrigation turned barren lands in Florida and California into citrus ranches and rail cars began to distribute produce across the country. Because lemons kept well, lemonade became a popular summer treat. Lemonade was a favorite drink at the Grandview Hotel.
