“When life gives you lemons, launch them.”
​
That’s the unique philosophy of Daryl, II  and brother Drake owners of the Launching Lemons lemonade stand. “If tough times enter your life and they keep coming, just launch them off because something better will come,” they say. This optimistic attitude shaped their business, influencing strategies, marketing and, ultimately, their product, which nabbed Best Tasting Original Lemonade honors in .

Inspired by grandmother and parents, Daryl & Drake poured their concepts into the recipe—a healthier version of lemonade, containing chia seeds, organic tea and honey. “The chia seeds have omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants and calcium, which helped our lemonade explode—in a healthy way,” they say. Next year, they plan to come up with more healthy lemonade flavors. Additionally, they would like to see their lemonade in grocery stores, schools and/or sport arenas. Once they settled on this year’s lemonade recipe, Daryl & Drake spent time squeezing fresh lemons and decorating their stand with robots, stickers and spaceships, and repurposed materials from their dad’s job. They also solicited support and donations by writing letters to the managers of several retail stores, social media outreach, passing out business cards and word of mouth. They enjoyed talking with family and friends about their business, as well as meeting store managers and even juicing lemons late at night. What they found challenging was creating a theme and slogan that would set them apart from others and, later, setting up and breaking down their stand.

Daryl & Drake slogan was also inspired by their charity of choice, the S.P.C.A. “We like helping animals find nice homes and medical care,” they say. They credit part of their success to their grandmother & mentor, Susan Phillips and the Kidpreneurship program, which helped them prepare for Lemonade Day. Now they take away valuable lessons to build on their experience and share with others. They advises kids to “make a plan, do your research, make a great product and be dedicated to your business. Have fun doing it and have a good attitude.” They also recommends kids work hard to develop a plan of action and be nice to their customers. Daryl & Drake met a lot of notable people that day, including the celebrity judges who awarded their recipe.
“We were a little nervous, but our favorite part was winning and working together as brother's because this was our first year participating in Lemonade Day.”
