Lemonade cocktail? Help with recipe ideas...

I have a bunch of Newmans Fresh Lemonade, Lemons, Limes and some Grey Goose Vodka - should I mix Lemonade and Vodka together and pour over ice in pitcher with some fresh cut lemons and limes mixed in?  Or should I go out and buy Lemon flavored Vodka or some other alcohol to mix it with?  Trying to find a refreshing cocktail to serve on a hot day with ingredients I have.  I also have fresh mint in my garden I can add and Grand Marnier in my cabinet - but not sure if that all goes together. 

I also guess I could blend with ice.. but was trying to keep it simple.  Please send ideas my way!

Re: Lemonade cocktail? Help with recipe ideas...

  • Hi there.

    My un-bartender answer: I'd just mix up a sample with the vodka on hand and see how it tastes. Drinks  I've never had lemon vodka, but I think the combo would be too lemony.

  • You can also do an Arnold Palmer and fresh brewed ice tea or add lemoncello to the vodka and lemonade and serve it over ice or blended with ice.  Lemonade and vodka is a great combo on it's own and you can google many combos with it.   I have even seen one with lavender and thyme added to it.
  • Lemonade and vodka is fine on it's own, a little lime would be nice too.  If you have any strawberries that would be good with the lemonade and vodka too.
  • Regular vodka will be great. I have a recipe using Ruby Red vodka too.

    Strawberry Lemonade
    in a pitcher
    vodka to taste
    4-5 muddled or fine chopped strawberries - great use for berries that are getting too soft to eat out of hand, but are still good.
    lemon juice and some slices of lemon tossed in for color
    splash of sour mix
    fill with lemonade 

    and

    Grapefruit Lemonade
    In a tall glass put:
    2 ice cubes
    5 glugs Absolut Ruby Red vodka
    4 glugs Newman's Own less sugar Lemonade
    2 glugs Sweet and Sour mix
    2 glugs Cosmo Martini mix

    swizzle and serve
