Lavender Lemonade - And Then Some

Lemonade is refreshing as any kid with a lemonade stand can tell you. There is something special about that magical concoction of lemon juice, sugar and water that- when done right - creates a magic all of its own.

Now-a-days there are more variations on lemonade than we could ever have thought of from melon to basil! My personal favorite is either a hibiscus lemonade or this lavender lemonade with a Vodka kick. It looks gorgeous in the glass and the first sip will win you over. Be careful, this stuff packs more of a kick than you'll taste. You can also use the Hibiscus Lemonade recipe found on the Restless Chipotle Facebook page in the notes section but you'll have to like the page. 🙂
