unsinkable Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm craving a mixed drink. I have some yummy lemonade. What alcohol should I get to mix with the lemonade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLT Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Citrus vodka. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmiraGulch Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I voted Jack Daniels, but really a better bourbon would be....better. My favorite drink these days is 1.5 oz of good bourbon, 2 oz lemonade, and 1 oz pomegranate. YUM. My second choice would be vodka. And if you happen to have any fresh basil, muddle a little and add that, too. Delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Vodka. I think Absolut Citrus is good in lemonade. My second choice would be a silver tequila. Patron is my favorite tequila, but it is pricey. The 1800 Repasado is okay. I'm not a big rum fan unless it's mixed with other liquors or fruity flavors. So, I like Pina Coladas, but not coke and Malibu. Bourbon gives me a headache, even just one drink with bourbon, so I don't drink it at all.

Dandelion Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Why not all of the above? :D You could make a variation of a Long Island Iced Tea - just replace the sweet and sour mix/Coke with your lemonade: 1 part vodka1 part tequila1 part rum1 part gin1 part triple sec1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix1 splash Coca-Cola® Read more: Long Island Iced Tea recipe http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink590.html#ixzz2dPFnv69U Whatever you decide to make, enjoy!

Janie Grace Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Vodka. I think some of the other ones have too-strong flavors that would compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thank you to everyone for the suggestions! And I bought......... Absolut Citron! I love vodka. I usually drink T and V (tea and vodka) or a screwdriver so I thought the citron would be a natural choice for me. But I drank........... Part of a chocolate milk shake that DH made for DD but I added a shot of Kahlua! Oh, yummy! I wish we were all at a campfire together with our beverages of choice. Sláinte!

ErinE Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Absolut made an Absolut Brooklyn flavor for a few years that was amazing in lemonade. Otherwise, I'd make an Arnold Palmer with Firefly (tea flavored vodka). Or straight vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gin and lemonade is a real drink. I drank it in Spain and it was fantastic. I never would have put them together, but it was really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My3girls Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Blueberry vodka! One of my faves. That and whipped cream vodka mixed with Fanta... Tastes like dreamsycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I used to like gin and lemonade. Haven't had it in a long time, though! My great aunt used to drink that; she called it The Busy Gal's Gimlet. Of course, she also used a 10-inch cigarette holder and referred to herself as "a pip." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd293 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pimm's (gin-related, I think), but Vodka will do in a pinch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaOfalotta Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Captain Morgan. This is the option I was looking for! I voted Rum, but Captain Morgan would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I do a weak margarita with limeade sometimes. It would be good with lemonade too. I vote a splash of tequila and a splas of triple sec. Maybe even just the triple sec. It's worth a shot. Get it . . . a 'shot.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabi Sabi Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sweet tea flavored vodka- yum! My favorite summer drink. Jeremiah Weed and Firefly are two brands that make the sweet tea flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingiguana Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Triple sec. But I've had some pretty terrible triple sec. Lately we've been using Durango, which seems a lot better than the cheaper ones I've tried. Someone also recommended Sauza tequila to me. The clear kind. I'm not a huge tequila fan, but this did make margaritas taste better than the other brand I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
