What to pair with lemonade?

Mario, I pair lemonade with many of the cigars I smoke. Not as a companion to the individual stick, but as a very effective palette cleanser that is crisp, has an acid base that cuts thru any cigar film in my mouth, and with a taste that doesn't linger over long. I find that sipping lemonade every now and then renews my taste buds during a smoke (or between different cigars) very effectively. Never tried to pair it specifically with an individual cigar. But i probably drink it as a palette cleanser at least 50% of the times I smoke!! But, I use only lemonade made with real sugar, not artificial sweeteners, as I find the taste of artificial sweeteners to be a taste disaster!
