The classic summer drink…with a kick.
The classic summer drink…with a kick.
Nothing says summertime like a nice, cool glass of lemonade. It’s the perfect drink for picnics at the park, cookouts in the back yard, or just sitting out on the deck to watch the sunset at the end of a long day. That sweet-tart mix of lemon, sugar, and cold water is the taste of summer.
But if lemonade is good, strawberry lemonade is even better. June is also strawberry season, and adding fresh strawberries to your lemonade gives it a whole new twist – sweet and tangy and fragrant all at the same time.
And once you’ve started improving on perfection, why stop there? How about a splash of grapefruit, to add a hint of bitterness under the sweet and get all the parts of your tongue energized?
And as long as we’re at it…how about a little booze? Why choose between a cocktail in the evening and a cool glass of lemonade, when you can have both?
Put all of these ideas together, and this is what you end up with: Strawberry Grapefruit Spiked Lemonade. It’s got all those fruity flavors in one glass, with a jigger of lemon vodka thrown in to give it that extra kick. Throw in some fresh sliced strawberries and a wedge of grapefruit, and this isn’t just a drink…it’s a beach party in a glass.
