Pink Lemonade was one of my favorite drinks as a little girl – the sweetness, the blushing pink color, what’s not to love, am I right? Now that I’m all grown up, I still love my pink lemonade, but in cocktail form, of course!

This is a super simple recipe with only a few ingredients. Start by putting mint leaves at the bottom of your chic glass and top with 2 oz. of vodka, followed by a fourth of the lemonade. Drop in some ice, swirl around with a straw and voila – you have a cocktail worthy of any soiree that’s minty fresh to boot. Serve with a colorful striped straw for a stylish presentation. You can even serve it up sans alcohol for those kiddos (like me) who love their pink lemonade! Cheers!
