🍋 Lemonade Stand
Match the recipe exactly — a perfect mix with a happy customer means a fat tip!
How to play Lemonade Stand
How to play
Lemonade Stand puts you behind the counter of your own drink stall for one busy 2-minute day. Thirsty customers walk up one at a time, each with a very specific lemonade recipe shown on their order card — for example, 2 parts lemon juice, 1 part sugar, 3 parts water and 2 parts ice. Click the ingredient buttons to pour parts into your cup, watch the fill gauge show exactly what went in, then hit Serve. Nail the recipe perfectly and you earn the full price plus a tip that grows with the customer's remaining patience. Miss by a single part and you only get half price. Botch it badly and the customer storms off with an empty cup — no sale, no tip.
Controls
- Desktop: press 1 for lemon, 2 for sugar, 3 for water, 4 for ice. Press S to serve, C to dump the cup and start over.
- Mobile: tap the ingredient buttons to pour, tap Dump to empty the cup, tap Serve to hand the drink over.
- Start / restart: press Enter or tap the Open Stand / New Day button.
Tips
- Speed matters: a perfect recipe served while the patience bar is still green earns the biggest tip, so memorize the card fast.
- Count carefully — being off by even one part halves your money. Double-check the gauge before you serve.
- If the cup gets messy, dump it and rebuild. One ruined drink costs less time than an angry customer.
- The cup holds 10 parts, and every recipe fits inside it, so a full gauge means you over-poured somewhere.
- Letting patience hit zero means the customer walks away — serve something decent rather than nothing.
Scoring
Your score is the day's earnings in dollars. Each recipe's price is $2 plus $1 per part, so an 8-part order pays $10, and a speedy perfect serve adds a patience-scaled tip on top. Half-price sales earn no tip. Your best day is saved in this browser — squeeze every last drop of profit out of the rush.
