This delicious Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail is sweet, tart and refreshing!
I recently was assigned an article for SheKnows.com the other day about different types of lemonade recipes. One of the lemonade recipes I made was Strawberry Lemonade.
Well, you know me. If it can be spiked, I’m on it.
And I was on it.
I made this awesome Strawberry Lemonade… then spiked it with Pinnacle’s Strawberry Shortcake Vodka. It is AMAZING.
This recipe is a little more complicated more than my other cocktail recipes. That’s okay, because you can use lemonade concentrate if you don’t feel like squeezing lemons to make lemonade. I know we’re all short on time… especially when it’s time to get our drink on.
So, I’m gonna cut to the chase and tell you how I made this awesome cocktail. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of Pinnacle Strawberry Shortcake… that stuff rules!
