This post is long overdue. In fact I was even wondering whether to post it at all. But this is one seriously good Boozy Summer Lemonade and I wanted to have it here, if not for you, than for me. I tend to forget where I write down the ingredients and a lot of good recipes have disappeared in time.
So, this is my interpretation of summer lemonade. There are so many great drinks floating around the web recently, that I just couldn’t resist making my own. This Summer Lemonade is fruity, tangy, fragrant and with just the right amount of alcohol for my taste. It is definitely worth it to have it in the fridge, waiting for you, in a hot and blistering summer day.
