Lemonade Recipe for adults

Vodka Lemonade:

• ice cubes
• mint
• raspberries
• 1 1/2 C. superfine sugar
• 1/2 C. boiling water
• Zest of one lemon
• 1 1/2 C. lemon juice
• 4 C. cold water
• 1 C. chilled lemon-flavored vodka

Place one mint leaf or 2 raspberries into each compartment of an ice cube tray. Fill with water and freeze. Combine sugar and boiling water; stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Let simmer 5 minutes. Cool. Add lemon zest and lemon juice, stir and refrigerate until ready to use. To prepare lemonade, combine the lemonade syrup, cold water and vodka in a glass pitcher. Stir to combine. Add a few ice cubes to the pitcher for a decorative accent. Fill tall glasses with mint and raspberry ice cubes. Pour lemonade over. Garnish with a mint sprig. You can omit the vodka from the pitcher and add to individual glasses as desired.
