Summer Hard Lemonade Recipe

Wednesday, June 8th, 2016

I posted this recipe a few years ago, and it is still one of the most requested recipes on-line and with my friends.

And yes, beer tastes great in this lemonade. It really smooths out the taste and adds some fizz.

Fabulous drink for a hot day, lounging at the pool, party with friends…or anytime!

Hard Lemonade Recipe - Perfect for a party or a day by the pool | Announcingit.com

 


Hard Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients: 

  • 1 can frozen lemonade – make it with 3 cans of water (not the 4 1/3 cans called for – you’re adding other ingredients and it will be too watered down)
  • 1 bottle of beer (makes 2 drinks)
  • Vodka or lemon flavored vodka (you can leave out the vodka too)

To make individual drinks:

  1. Fill glass half full of ice
  2. Fill half full with lemonade
  3. Add one shot of vodka (more to your tastes or leave out)
  4. Fill to full with beer
  5. Stir and enjoy!

For a low calorie/low sugar version substitute:

  • Crystal light lemonade (use about a third less water to retain a lemonade flavor when the beer is added)
  • Use a 55-64 calorie beer

To many of us in the United States, Cinco de Mayo – the celebration of the Mexican Army’s defeat of the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 – means enjoying Margaritas and fabulous Mexican food on May 5th with a Cinco de Mayo party at home or with friends at a local restaurant.

Frozen Margarita on Cinco de Mayo

An interesting margarita that grabbed my attention is a specialty of a 5- star hotel in Southern California – the Avocado Margarita.
