Lemonade

Lemonade is a sweetened lemon beverage that works as a ready-made cocktail mixer — it already has the citrus and sugar balanced for you. Spiked lemonade with vodka is a summer backyard staple. It also shows up in the Lynchburg Lemonade with Jack Daniel’s and triple sec. Homemade lemonade is always better than store-bought for mixing, but in a pinch, Simply Lemonade or a similar not-from-concentrate brand will do. Pink lemonade adds a slightly different flavor profile and a nice color.
