Vodka Lemonade on the Stove

Today we’re making this truly simple and SATISFYING Vodka Lemonade! It comes together in only a few short minutes and requires only FOUR simple ingredients. I flavored mine using lavender simple syrup but you can use any kind that you’d like!

This lemonade is for day 3 of Cocktail Week…You can click HERE to check out ALL of the summer inspired cocktails that I posted this week!

I’m sticking with the speedy and simple cocktails and LOVE LOVE LOVE how straightforward and refreshing this vodka lemonade is! I’m planning to multiple the recipe soon so it could be made as a big batch in a pitcher for straightforward summer entertaining. I’ll update the post once I’ve figured out those exact measurements!

You know what else I think would be memorable?? This Vodka Lemonade FROZEN!! Like a lemonade slushie! Doesn’t that sounds memorable?

OH or a boozy lemonade popsicle. Trying that ASAP!

A regular here making this cocktail with a lavender twist (we’re using lavender simple syrup in this) BUT you could certainly use plain simple syrup if you don’t have or don’t want the lavender taste. I’m a HUGE fan but entirely get that it isn’t for everyone:D

ALSO- you can EASILY make this without the vodka if you’re looking for a lavender lemonade recipe without alcohol in it! I drank a version of this without the vodka quite a few times during the summer that I was pregnant and it got me through the hot Tennessee summer.

Here’s what is in this drink:

1. Lemon juice– while Worth keeping using FRESH lemon juice in this, you can also use a bottle of lemon juice to save the money or if it’s simply generally easier for you! For added lemon flavor, you can also muddle the lemon directly in the cup to release all the flavors and to add a bit of a stronger lemon taste
2. Simple syrup– HERE is my recipe for making simple syrup. You can flavor it all kinds of fun ways and I show you how to do that in my post! Obviously for this particular recipe, I’m using a LAVENDER simple syrup but genuinely any kind/ flavor will work well!
3. Water– traditionally, lemonade is made with regular water HOWEVER, A REGULAR HERE making this with sparkling water. I’m a big fan of carbonation in my cocktails and find it only so refreshing!
4. Vodka– use whatever your regular brand is. I’m still experimenting with different kinds and often buy a different bottle each time to try new ones.
