Deliciously refreshing Spiked Strawberry Mint Lemonade – a twist on traditional lemonade that’s perfect for summer entertaining and get togethers!
Pickles and lemonade are two things that come to mind when I think of hot, sunny weather and the onset of summer. Maybe not together (ew!) but separate – absolutely!
Think summer entertaining – BBQ’s out in the backyard are the perfect way to celebrate with friends and family. No BBQ is complete without sweet and refreshing lemonade. Whether it’s regular lemonade or pink lemonade, lemonade is the best thing to enjoy over the hot, sunny summer.
If you are close to a Wendy’s, they have Strawberry Lemonade and Mango Pineapple Lemonade – both of which are super amazing (I can attest to both!) If you are looking for a twist on regular lemonade, this Spiked Strawberry Mint Lemonade is great for adults who want something a step-up from regular lemonade.
Spiked Strawberry Mint Lemonade
This Spiked Strawberry Mint Lemonade starts with a few strawberries cut in half and paired with mint and given a good smash with a muddler or end of a long, wooden spoon.
They are then paired with a splash of vodka and Minute Maid strawberry lemonade. After a good shake, the mixture is poured over ice in your favorite glass.
