What is Spiked Lemonade
- Spiked lemonade is simply an adult drink made with a little alcohol (namely vodka) and some lemonade. It is also referred to as hard lemonade.
- It isn’t just plain vodka added to this drink, but a sweetened raspberry cocktail. This spiked cocktail is a combination of vodka and flavorings.
- This vodka is mixed with some Crystal Light. Low calorie, easy to use, and sweet Crystal Light is the best with the flavored vodka.
- Keep guests fed and happy and serve this drink with some homemade chip dip, or some easy pork bites.
Ingredients & Variations
VODKA There is something magical about this blue raspberry vodka cocktail. The sweet and tart flavoring subdues the strong flavor of the vodka. This can be served on the rocks or mixed.
CRYSTAL LIGHT These drink crystals will keep this cocktail low in calories. It also has no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
VARIATIONS Instead of the Crystal light use any storebought lemonade (it just may not be as low calorie)! Kool-aid and juice can also be used as a replacement for the Crystal Light.
Experiment with different flavors like strawberry, raspberry, blueberry watermelon, and peach.
