Ingredients
Scale
Drink Base
- 2 Tablespoons strawberry lemonade mix (such as Country Time)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 ounce sour mix
- 2 ounces lemon infused vodka
- 2 ounces fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
Garnishes and Ice
- Sliced strawberries
- A wedge of grapefruit
- Crushed ice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the strawberry lemonade mix, water, sour mix, lemon infused vodka, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, and crushed ice. This combination forms the flavorful base of the spiked lemonade.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. This chills the mixture and helps blend all the ingredients together evenly.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mix into a glass filled with crushed ice to keep the drink cool without watering it down.
- Garnish: Add sliced strawberries inside the glass and garnish the rim with a wedge of grapefruit and additional sliced strawberries for an appealing presentation and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and add extra sour mix or lemon juice.
- Fresh grapefruit juice is key to achieve the best vibrant citrus flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of strawberry lemonade mix according to taste.
- Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture without fruit pulp.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and chill.
