Summer Lemonade Cocktails


Summer is here and the heat is on the rise. Lemonade sure does the trick to cool you down – here are a few adult ideas on how to heat back up your day with these yummy lemon based cocktails! Try not to use the processed “bleep” that comes frozen, make some or buy some fresh lemonade. It is worth it.


1. Lemonade Margarita – in tall glass, over ice, pour two shots (ok maybe three) of your favorite tequila – and top off with lemonade, mix well and guzzle


2. Lemon-Champagne Cocktail – fill champagne glass ¾ of the way with some nice cold bubbly, add a shot of lemonade and top with a tablespoon of cranberry juice or two drops of grenadine


3. Gin Shady – pour into a large pilsner glass two shots of gin, two shots of lemonade and top off with one bottle of ginger beer


4. Lynchburg Lemonade – in a tall glass with crushed ice, pour two shots of Jack, one shot of triple sec, one shot lemon juice, top off with lemonade and guzzle


5. Lemonade and Campari – in tall glass with crushed ice, pour one shot of Campari, two shots club soda, top off with lemonade and enjoy


6. Lemonade Mojito – in a highball glass muddle fresh mint with one shot of lemon juice, one teaspoon superfine sugar, pour two shots white rum, top off with lemonade and a dash of club soda
