It all started with a clever little spark — our daughter Koa. One day, she said she wanted to start a lemonade stand and, without skipping a beat, came up with the name Squeeze Me Please Me.

 

It was cheeky, sweet, and full of joy — just like her. And just like that, this stand became more than an idea… it became a family mission.

As an American living in Australia, I (Ariyana – the mom behind the lemons) was surprised to learn that “lemonade” here usually means lemon-lime soda. Back home, lemonade is the real-deal: fresh-squeezed, tangy-sweet, served at backyard BBQs or made by kids raising money on sunny days.

It’s a drink steeped in tradition, hospitality, and good old-fashioned feel-good vibes.

​

So, with Koa’s creative vision, my Southern-style family recipes (passed down from generations of restaurant owners), and my husband Conor’s Aussie roots keeping us grounded, we built something special. A lemonade stand with a whole lot of heart — and a splash of sass.

​

At Squeeze Me Please Me, it’s never just about the drinks. We bring American-style lemonade made with love, classic chocolate chip cookies, fun lemon-themed giveaways, and music that makes you want to dance. Whether you meet us at a local farmers market, a community event, or a big festival, we want you to feel the sunshine in every sip.

 

This isn’t just lemonade. It’s a taste of home, a spark of joy, and a little squeeze of something sweet to make your day brighter.
