Lemonade Invitation and Hard Lemonade Recipe

Lemonade Birthday Invitation

Last weekend my sister and I were trying to come up with an afternoon cocktail recipe that felt like summer.  I love mai tais and anything with rum, but rarely have the fruit juices on hand to make them. After looking through what I did have in the house, I remembered a recipe I hadn’t made in a long time – “Hard Lemonade” and thankfully, the only thing hard about it is the name.

Ingredients:

• 1 can frozen lemonade made with 3 cans of water – not the 4 1/3 cans called for
• 1 bottle of beer makes 2 drinks
• Vodka or lemon flavored vodka

To make individual drinks:

• Fill glass half full of ice
• Fill half full with lemonade
• Add one shot of vodka (more to your tastes)
• Fill full with beer
• 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
• One of the new 55-64 calorie beers

And yes, the beer is great in the lemonade, it makes it really smooth!
