The perfect refreshing summer cocktail doesn’t get much simpler than a vodka lemonade. With its two components right in the name, this two-ingredient recipe is the perfect ratio and can be enjoyed all year round! Think of the fun you had having lemonade stands as a kid, but now with a special “adult-only” ingredient (hello, vodka) and a lot more relaxing!

Vodka Lemonade Recipe

The ingredients needs are, you guessed it: vodka and lemonade. Although the tangy lemon flavor of the lemonade kind of steals the show, we recommend using a good quality vodka. As far as lemonade goes, feel free to make it yourself (try this strawberry lemonade!) or use store-bought. You need just two ounces of vodka and 6 ounces of lemonade. If you’re feeling fancy or have them laying around, fresh lemon slices make a great garnish.
