Looking for summer refreshment?

Homemade lemonades: bubbles with the taste of fruit and herbs

Honestly, homemade lemonade is not just water with lemon. Many restaurants make their own syrups from herbs and fruit, often directly from regional ingredients or from their own gardens. One example is the Valeč Castle Resort, where herbs grown in the castle gardens end up not only in meals, but also in refreshing lemonades or mixed non-alcoholic drinks. Stop by to taste them and support local producers. If you prefer floral or herbal flavors, we recommend visiting the Hotel Havel restaurant, where they prepare lemonades from lilac, dandelion, rhubarb, or mint with lemon balm.



Try a unique and healthy combination at the Na Kraji lesa restaurant, where they offer homemade cucumber lemonade with young barley. At the Benedikt Brewery House, you can enjoy lime iced tea, orange or raspberry lemonade, and homemade radler – the ideal choice for those looking for a non-alcoholic refreshment with a hint of beer. At the elegant Fitz Villa in Rokycany, you will find a selection of homemade fruit lemonades with playful names.

You will also find a wide range of homemade lemonades in other establishments throughout the country. The Radniční sklípek in Liberec serves drinks flavored with lemon, ginger, strawberry, or passion fruit. Sweet refreshments in the form of raspberries, sour cherries, mangoes, or blueberries await you at Hospůdka U nás, the Hotel Ostrov restaurant, or the Narpa confectionary in Lány. Each establishment offers different combinations, but they all have one thing in common – everything is authentic and prepared with love.

Non-alcoholic drinks and other summer delights

The ever-popular non-alcoholic cocktails, or mocktails, have certainly not disappeared from summer menus and are becoming increasingly popular. And no wonder – the combination of fruit, herbs, homemade syrups, and sparkling water gives rise to unexpected taste experiences. At the Národní dům Pobořany restaurant, you can try original combinations such as No Feet – a drink made from grapefruit juice, Ophir syrup, lime, and sparkling water – or the Callipo fruit cocktail made from apple cider, strawberry purée, and lime juice. At Gate Restaurant, they have opted for classics that never get old: Virgin Mojito, Shirley Temple, or Miami in a non-alcoholic version.



And if you like to enjoy a glass of something more elegant, the Hotel Port restaurant offers not only non-alcoholic wines but also non-alcoholic prosecco – ideal for a light lunch with a view of Lake Mácha.

For the little ones, the Jánský Confectionery in Sedlčany offers ice cream cocktails. Just choose your favorite flavor and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the icy cocktail.
