When I was growing up, my grandmother would often make a pitcher of lemonade on summer afternoons. It was the perfect way to beat the heat. While I still love to cool off with a tall glass of the citrusy sip, sometimes I crave an adults-only beverage. This Raspberry-Ice Spiked Lemonade recipe really hits the spot. It’s a pretty-in-pink spin on the classic warm weather refresher. Plus, we give it a clever upgrade that makes it perfect for a get-together – or any time!.
If your taking the time to stir up a fruity cocktail, why settle for plain ice cubes? They always water down the drink! So, we place raspberries and lemon juice in ice cube trays and freeze ’em. They not only add flavor as they melt, they make an elegant presentation that’s sure to impress. Pair them with pink lemonade and citrus vodka for a pucker-inducing treat. Whip up a batch for yourself, then let us know what you think.
