Minty Vodka Lemon-Limeade

This refreshing Granita Di Limone brings sparkle to your summer evenings. Add lemon ice cubes to your water or even a fruit beverage and enjoy the cool breeze of freshness.

Making lemonade from scratch only requires freshly-squeezed lemon juice, water, and a simple syrup of water and sugar. Pour the lemon juice in a clear glass pitcher, add the water, then stir in the cooled syrup. Since everyone has a sweet-to-sour preference, you can adjust the juice and syrup to taste. Add fresh lemon slices to the pitcher before serving.

Lemonade is second only to iced tea as the quintessential Southern thirst-quencher. Instead of the artificially-flavored powder mixes, discover how easy it is to make lemonade from scratch! My recipe uses real lemon juice and just enough sugar to level the tartness.

Pick up fresh lemon to mix up this simple lemon water that will keep you cool on a hot day.
