tipsy peach lemonade
This one is very inviting on a hot afternoon, but be careful... It's a sneaker! This is a great drink, but it does not need to contain alcohol. Easily made non alcoholic by omitting the liquor and still refreshing. This recipe makes about 5 cups. Use 1 oz of vodka per serving if you want the alcohol. You won't be disappointed!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
One sip of this lemonade cocktail, and we guarantee this will be your new favorite summertime drink. The peach simple syrup is amazing on its own and a great way to use fresh peaches. When added to a basic lemonade, it tastes like pure summer. We added a shot of vodka to each serving, and it was a nice complement without being overpowering. However, it's just as refreshing without the alcohol. The ultimate poolside beverage for the summer.
