Tips

  • If making homemade lemonade cocktails, it’s best to use fresh lemon juice for best results.
  • I find the best lemonade for cocktails is homemade, but a high-quality store-bought version like Simply Lemonade is also delicious.
  • For any recipe that calls for store-bought lemonade, you can substitute lemonade with pink lemonade.
  • Browse my Bar Tools Essentials post to see what tools will help you mix amazing drinks at home.
  • It’s easy to use simple syrup to sweeten up any of these mixed drinks made with lemonade.
  • If you’re worried about dilution from melting ice cubes on a hot summer day, you can freeze lemonade in ice cube trays and use those instead.
