Did you know that August 20th is National Lemonade Day? It’s true! I have long been a fan of a tall, cool glass of lemonade. Of course, now that I’m an adult, sometimes I like my lemonade to be an adult version, with a little bit of alcohol.
These lemonade recipes are great for any time of year, but they’re particularly cooling for these wicked dog days of summer. Check out these Lemonade cocktail recipes for something refreshing.

I could go with a vodka crush right about now! Yumm!!
YUM!!! I want this drink right now after today!
these are perfect as we wind down the last days of summer–great stuff–thanks for sharing
These do sound fantastic, and perfect for relaxing on a sweltering summer evening.
The sparkling lemonade looks super yummy! Plus lemons are good for you, so yay! I’d probably add a dash of cranberry or maybe dunk a hibiscus teabag in it!
I can’t wait to make these for my next party. I am always at a loss and these look like everyone would enjoy them we all love lemonade and I have a lemon tree too
Love these adult versions! Lemonade is my fave!
I just made a pitcher of homemade lemonade. I don’t have Skinny Girl vodka but I have some Gray Goose and seltzer. I see a glass of sparkling lemonade with dinner for me, yumm. Thanks for the recipes!
These sound AMAZING! We’re having some of our first humid weather and one of these would be perfect after the little one goes to sleep tonight! 🙂
