Scott's 1 to 3 Vodka Lemonade Recipe

I sometimes read a famous chef explaining that they rely on the essence of a few key ingredients to shine through in their signature dishes.  I echo this philosophy with my signature drink, vodka lemonade.  No chicago summer is complete without it.

There are a few easy and cheap ingredients added in measurements of either 1 or 3.  Follow these simple instructions to enjoy some warm and fuzzy summer good times.

Ingredients

• 1 can frozen lemonade
• 3 cups vodka
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup lemon juice
• 3 lemons

Pour 1 can of frozen lemonade into a 2 qt pitcher.  Add 3 cans of water.  Add the vodka, sugar, and lemon juice, and stir like hell.  Cut 3 lemons into 8 wedges/lemon, de-seed, and squeeze into the pitcher.  Drop in the lemons.  Stir more.  Drink up.

Tips

• You can mix it up slightly by using a flavored lemonade.
• If you are headed to a team event such as dodgeball, pour the mix into empty gallon water jugs and tote to the game.
• A gallon = 4 quarts (I always forget this).  So double the ingredients to fill a jug.
• However much you think you need to make, make triple the amount.  People pour this stuff down like its their job.

I hope this recipe brightens your summer events, I know it is always a big hit at mine.
