Stylish Simplicity - Lemonade

Okay, the recipe below is simple but what makes it stylish?  To me, its simplicity!

The summer heat has finally arrived and the last thing I want to do is to be in the kitchen making complicated things.

When I'm at the market and see the huge Amalfi lemons, I must make this lemonade and add a sprig of mint.
