Italian Lemonade at Mario’s Italian Lemonade

You can find Italian ice at any number of places around the city, but Mario’s distinct style, which includes actual bits of lemon rind, delivers a special puckery note. You’ll find standby flavors like cherry or strawberry, but go for the specials, which change regularly and are listed on hand-painted signs. Those specials are often loaded with fresh fruit, like peach and mango. So is the refreshing fruit cocktail flavor, which has apples, pears, cantaloupe, oranges, grapes, and bananas — and the advantage of almost always being available. From $3; 1068 W. Taylor St., Little Italy
