Google is my friend, I know. Google returns many different recipes, many which seem as difficult to make as a mint julep.

I had a hot date last night and he was ordering these at each bar we went to. Apparently they’re popular.

It’s typically just vodka and lemonade. Ratio To preference. Vodka hides in lemonade rather well so it’s easy to drink them strong.

Vodka and lemonade.

Use the canned frozen lemonade for easy prep, or make your own from simple syrup and lemons. For the diet-conscious, try Crystal Light lemonade mix.

Cake and pie!
