August 20th is National Lemonade Day!
Don’t worry, no one expected you to know that, but consider this your excuse to drink. The only thing more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade is a cold glass of spiked lemonade so we’re sharing a few good recipes to help you celebrate.
We love when brands send us recipes, but we love when they send us booze even more. Several of the brands we’ve sampled this Summer are included in the recipes below so feel free to give them a try.
If week day drinking is a bit much for you, feel free to postpone the festivities until the weekend and then go hard. Check out the recipes below and see if something gets your mind thirsty.
Cheers,
Alex & Lori
