SPIKED LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add the sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves. Chill until ready to use.
• In a small pitcher, mix together the lemon juice and chilled simple syrup. Add the syrup in stages and taste so it is the right amount of sweet and sour for your liking.
• To serve, place ice cubes in a high ball glass. Add a few mint leaves. Pour some bourbon into the glass to your taste. Add lemonade and top with club soda.

PINK LEMONADE MOSCATO PUNCH

Steps:

• Put 2 raspberries in each compartment of 2 standard 16-cube ice cube trays. Fill the trays three-quarters of the way with cold water. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, combine the sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Let the simple syrup cool completely, transfer to a container and refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, whisk together the simple syrup and lemon juice in a large pitcher. Add the Moscato and stir to combine. Divide the ice cubes among 6 glasses and fill with the Moscato mixture. Garnish with the mint sprigs and lemon rounds.

GRILLED CITRUS SPIKED LEMONADE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Combine the lemons, limes and oranges in a medium bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the sugar to coat. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt.
• Place the fruit, cut-side down, on the grill; cook until dark brown grill marks appear, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool. Cut 2 lemon halves into slices and set aside for garnish.
• Combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar with 2 cups water in a saucepot over medium heat. Cook until the sugar is fully melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Pour the sugar syrup into a pitcher and add the basil leaves. Juice the grilled citrus through a strainer into the pitcher. Add vodka to taste, if using. Stir, add ice, and garnish with the reserved lemon slices. Serve cold.
