Homemade Hard Lemonade

Summer school is oooout 8) and it’s getting hot! Here’s a simple hard lemonade recipe for that 4th of July weekend, or any weekend, or hell, any Tuesday night!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 cups ice
  • 4+ ounces vanilla-flavored vodka
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rings
  • 1 lime, sliced into rings

Directions:

Bring water and sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan, cook until sugar dissolves (don’t burn it!). Remove from heat and let cool.

Fill a large pitcher with ice. Stir in the simple sugar syrup, vodka, juice, lemon and lime slices. Omit alcohol if desired.

Comments:

The original recipe this is based off of only calls for 4 oz. of vodka. If you’d like a stronger drink, try adding a couple more, but I recommend testing it before you add too much. Unflavored or citrus flavored vodka can work as well.
