Default What to pair with lemonade?

I'm about to whip up some lemonade, blend it with ice, and smoke a cigar with it. I've had a couple of stogies with a cold glass of lemonade before, but I wonder what the experience of others might bring to the table. So tell me, what would YOU pair with a cold glass of lemonade?

Lemonade is nearly done and I need to pair a smoke with it! I think this thread may come in handy for various opinions considering that it's summer and lemons are usually free if you know where to look. I have access to several trees in my neighborhood. You know what they say. When life gives you lemons...

2-3 shots of vodka and a float of Grand Marnier & Meyers dark rum.

Maybe a PAM64 and some potato chips too.

I prefer a connie or habano wrapper with lemonade. Maddies sometimes get a sour aftertaste, IME.

Well, I had no cookies, potato chips, or Cohiba anything, and I don't do booze. Closest I had to the other pairings was a Boli GM, PAM 26, and a San Cristobal robusto, so I went with the latter. It was a pretty nice pairing. I'm sure I'll be trying other matches throughout the this summer, and I can't wait to here more from all of you.
