VODKA LEMONADE
A simple vodka lemonade that takes some elbow grease! I usually make this at a party with friends so I can pass the jar around because I usually get tired of shaking and my hands get cold. I usually put it into a better container for serving when I am done shaking, like the one in the picture.

Steps:
- Syrup:
- Bring mint, ginger, sugar, and 2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let sit 1 hour.

- Cocktail:
- Combine vodka, lemon juice, ginger-mint syrup, and 4 cups water in a punch bowl and stir well.
- Ladle spiked lemonade into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lemon wheels and mint leaves.
- Do Ahead
- Syrup can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled.
Tips:
- For a refreshing and flavorful twist, use fresh mint leaves instead of extract. Simply muddle the leaves in a glass before adding the vodka and lemonade.
- If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can substitute bottled lemon juice. Just be sure to use 100% lemon juice, not a lemon-flavored drink.
- For a sweeter lemonade, add more sugar or honey to taste. You can also use a flavored lemonade mix, such as strawberry or raspberry.
- Garnish your minted vodka lemonade with a mint sprig or a lemon slice for a finishing touch.
- Serve your minted vodka lemonade over ice for a refreshing summer drink.
