vodka lemonade

[  vodka + lemon  ]

There is something about lemon. It is my favorite...especially during the summertime! It is not often I drink. But, I do love an iced cold Corona with a lime or a vodka lemonade during the summer! They remind me of sweet summer. And, I cherish it!

 

Enjoy this sweet recipe for a vodka lemonade to sip slowly this summer...

2 ounces      vodka  (  I use Svedka  )

6 ounces      lemonade (  1 cup lemon juice + 6 1/2 cups water + 1 cup sugar = 2 quarts  )

ice

lemon slices for garnish

 

Add vodka and lemonade to your favorite glass. [ my favorite glass is a purple Mason jar ] Stir together. Add ice and lemon slices for garnish. Soak in the sunshine!

 

Here is another for a vodka lemonade slushy! This is perfect for summer!

 

2 ounces      vodka

2 ounces      lemon juice

1 + 3/4 ounces     simple syrup ( reduce 1 cup sugar + 1 cup water over medium heat )

Combine the vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice into a blender. Blend for 18 - 20 seconds. Pour into a glass and garnish with a strawberry and a lemon slice. Find your favorite spot outdoors and relax!
