Sabrina’s Vodka Lemonade Recipe

There’s nothing quite as refreshing on a hot summer day as a chilled glass of icy lemonade. But, why not add a boozy twist to that classic drink? With this recipe, you can liven up simple lemonade to make it into a delicious poolside cocktail. The smooth vodka goes perfectly with the sweet and tart mixture. I like to top it off with lemon wedges and mint sprigs for tasty, pretty garnish but it goes great with so many fruity and herb flavors. Try it with pink lemonade and rosemary for an easy instant upgrade. And if you want to make it for a party, I’ve included extra instructions in the recipe card notes section below. For a fall-themed vodka party drink, check out the boozy version of my Halloween Punch (dry ice optional!).
