I have a secret…I’m not a fancy girl. Okay so it’s not really a secret, but sometimes I feel like I should be fancier. I’m a jeans, t-shirt, and maybe a sparkly bracelet kind of girl. My husband wears jeans and untucked plaid button up shirts and I think he hunky in them. We spend most of our date nights making stuff in our garage wearing sweats (me) and an old, ripped flannel jacket (him). So when I was invited to join theses other amazing ladies to share my favorite spring cocktail I first got really excited and then really nervous. Should I share my real favorite just the way I make it or should I make it extra fancy for show? I decided to go with the real cocktail version of me. So here you have it my absolute favorite spring time cocktail, Rosemary Vodka Lemonade.
You don’t really make this as much as you assemble it. Here’s what you’ll need: chilled lemonade (we prefer Trader Joe’s sparkling lemonade) ; fresh rosemary sprigs; and very cold vodka.
First, put a sprig of rosemary in each glass.
Second, pour a shot of vodka over the rosemary.
Lastly, pour lemonade over the rosemary and vodka. Stir, chat a bit, sip, and enjoy!
I love to push the sprigs inside of the bottle of lemonade to infuse with the left over lemonade.
When we get spoiled with an amazing warm spring evening we like to have our date nights in our backyard by our fire pit. Nothing fancy just us, comfy chairs, and a couple of glasses of cold rosemary vodka lemonade!
I love to make this on a larger scale for parties! When I make a lot of this I put the sprigs of rosemary in a large pitcher or drink container and then add the lemonade. I pour the vodka in last to taste. Yum, yum, & yum!

Yum!!! Are you going to bring me one of these in your suitcase to SNAP? I just bought a bunch of lemonade for Easter – I might have to divert some of it to the adult table.
