About Us

When it comes to summer refreshments, what better way to quench your thirst then with some delicious lemonade!

We’ve turned up the crispness of this lemonade by adding some fresh muddled raspberries, mint, vodka and elderflower liqueur for some delicious bold aromatics. This lemonade is so refreshing, you’ll be craving it all summer.

Lemonade is the perfect way to cool off in the summer. Feel free to turn this into a mocktail for your kids, they will love being in the kitchen making lemonade from scratch. Make a separate batch for summer cookouts to make everyone feel included with this fun cocktail!

The tart sweetness is the perfect thirst quencher when the weather gets warm outside. Oh boy is it ever getting warm out there…

When it’s hot as hell outside and all I want to do is jump in an ice cold pool and float around all day, you bet there will be a drink in my hand and what a better way to cool off than with a fresh homemade raspberry lemonade with some vodka of course! Because sometimes you just need to kick back and relax.

I personally love to make this recipe, you can leave a pitcher of it in the refrigerator without the ice of course! You certainly wouldn’t want all that hard work of squeezing lemons to go to waste from getting diluted because you added ice too early. You can sip on it all week or all day (no judgement here) and it’s so nice to just have it there waiting for you already ready to go.

The recipe is crafted for 1 individual drink, You can make more than 1 at a time or a pitcher, just make sure to either double the ingredients if making 2 at a time or increase by 4-5 for a pitcher

Ingredients

  • 2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Large handful of fresh raspberries
  • 4 oz water
  • 1 oz elderflower
  • 1 oz vodka
  • ½ oz agave
  • Handful of fresh mint
  • Ice
  • Tools
  • Jigger
  • Muddler
  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Mixing glass
  • Citrus juicer
  • Bar spoon

Instructions

  • Juice lemons and set aside
  • In a mixing glass, muddle a handful of fresh raspberries (Do not over muddle, I like to leave some small pieces of raspberries just for the look)
  • To the mixing glass, add 2 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 oz vodka, 1 oz elderflower, 4 oz of water and ½ oz of agave. Gently stir using your bar spoon, you just want to loosen up the raspberries from the bottom of the mixing glass.
  • To your cocktail shaker, add ice (fill to about half depending on the size of your serving glass). Add your mix to the shaker. Grab a handful of fresh mint and spank them in your palms (this helps bring the mint flavour out, you don’t want to tear any of the mint) and add the mint to the shaker.
  • Next you’ll want to close your shaker and gently roll it back and forth -4 to 5 times (do not shake, this will break the mint leaves). What you want to do here is really just gently cool the drink and mix all the ingredients together.
  • Pour entire contents of the shaker into your serving glass. If its not full enough add more ice
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint. Serve 

Notes

If you plan on making a few of these cocktails, I would suggest buying at least 6 lemons. (I made 3 for the picture and squeezed about 5 lemons.
Squeeze all the lemons before you start making your drinks, it just makes things easier when you have all the ingredients prepped and ready to go right in front of you, I know my friends are impatient when I start bartending and making everyone drinks so I try to have everything ready so that everyone will have a drink in their hand and they are not waiting around.
