Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Skip the bottled juice. Fresh juice is SUPER important here, so take the time to juice fresh lemons. You’ll need about half of a lemon per drink for this cocktail. Plan on a whole lemon per mocktail variation.

What alcohol goes well with lemonade?

Vodka is delicious in lemonade because it doesn’t alter the flavor of the lemonade or anything you mix into your lemonade cocktail. Gin is also delicious, though I prefer a more neutral tasting gin like Aviation or Beefeater if I’m mixing it with lemonade.

What tastes good with lemonade?

I love adding different fruit flavor combinations to my lemonade. Besides strawberry syrup, you could also make this drink with blueberry syrup for a delicious blueberry lemonade cocktail or mocktail.

What kind of vodka should I use?

Choose your favorite vodka for this recipe. I use Smirnoff because it's easy for me to find at my local liquor stores and comes in at a budget-friendly price point. If you REALLY want to use a flavored vodka in this, I recommend Stoli Strawberry or Absolut Citron. Both have excellent, fresh fruit flavors. You can also create your own Strawberry Infused Vodka for this cocktail.
