Classic Sarahs Spiked Raspberry Lemonade

Growing up, summers were all about sipping on my aunt Sarah’s legendary spiked raspberry lemonade at family barbecues. It was the perfect blend of tart and sweet, with just enough kick to make the adults smile. Today, I’m sharing her secret recipe that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.

Ingredients

• Fresh raspberries – 1 cup
• Granulated sugar – ½ cup
• Fresh lemon juice – ¾ cup
• Vodka – 1 cup
• Cold water – 4 cups
• Ice – as needed

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves.
2. Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
3. Add the lemon juice, vodka, and cold water to the pitcher, stirring well to combine. Tip: For a smoother lemonade, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
4. Fill glasses with ice and pour the lemonade over. Tip: Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon slice for an extra special touch.
5. Stir gently before serving to ensure the flavors are well mixed. Tip: If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, adjust the sugar to your liking in the first step.

Absolutely refreshing, this spiked raspberry lemonade boasts a vibrant pink hue and a perfectly balanced flavor that’s both fruity and slightly tart. Serve it in mason jars with striped paper straws for a nostalgic summer vibe, or freeze some into popsicles for a fun, boozy treat.

Sarahs Spiked Raspberry Lemonade with Mint

Zesty summer days call for refreshing drinks, and nothing beats the combination of raspberries, lemon, and a hint of mint to cool you down. I remember the first time I tried adding a splash of vodka to my homemade lemonade; it was a game-changer, turning a simple drink into a celebratory cocktail. Here’s how I make my Spiked Raspberry Lemonade with Mint, perfect for those lazy afternoons or lively gatherings.
