Mix up a batch of Lone Star lemonade for your summer cookouts and all the adults around will be delighted!
Ingredients: · 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka (made in Austin, Texas) · 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice · 1/2 oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and hot water, stir until honey is dissolved) · Club soda, to top · Ice cubes · Fresh mint sprigs for garnish · Lemon slices for garnish |
Instructions:
1. Start by making the honey syrup: mix equal parts of honey and hot water. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Let it cool. (You can make this ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.)
2. In a shaker, combine the Tito’s Vodka, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
3. Fill a highball or mason jar with ice cubes and strain the mixture into the glass.
4. Top it off with club soda for that fizzy lift.
5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, slapping it between your hands once to release its aroma. Add a slice of lemon either on the rim of the glass or floating on top.
6. Optional: For an extra touch of Texas, add a few drops of a locally made hot sauce to give it a spicy kick.
7. Stir gently, serve immediately.
