02 - For each fruit syrup, add the fruit, sugar, and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer for 10 minutes. Gently mash the fruit to release juices, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar. Discard solids and let syrup cool.
03 - In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add mint leaves, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain syrup into a jar and allow to cool.
04 - Arrange lemonade in a large dispenser. Pour each syrup into labeled bottles or jars. Provide garnishes, ice, and glasses for guests to customize drinks.
05 - Pour lemonade into glasses, add ice cubes, and stir in desired syrup (use approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons per glass). Garnish as preferred.
