Raspberry Vodka Lemonade

When it comes to summer refreshment, my mind tends to always drift towards the simplicity of homemade lemonade.

The tart sweetness is the perfect thirst quencher when the weather gets warm outside, and boy is it getting warm out there…

There were a few weeks here when Denver couldn’t really make up its mind as to whether it was summer or not. There was rain and hail, snow and chilly winds…

The sun is beating down every day. When I cook, the house turns into an oven. Going out at 7:30am for coffee is no longer a pleasant experience since it’s 70+ degrees and hot coffee is the last thing I need in life at that moment.

All I can say is thank goodness for AC. I just listened to a post-apocolyptic book about a world without AC and I literally can’t even imagine if that was my reality. AH.



That’s where this lovely vodka lemonade comes into play. When it’s hot as hell outside and all I want to do is grill, I grab a jar full of this lovely raspberry vodka lemonade and kick back as the meat sizzles away.

I personally love to make this recipe and leave a pitcher of it in the refrigerator (without the ice, mind you – no diluted cocktails in my house!). You can sip on it all week and it’s so nice to just have there waiting for you at the end of a long day.
