Drinks made from lemons and sugar date back to 13th and 14th century Egypt, boomed as a business in 15th century Paris, then bubbled with carbonation in 17th century England. Today, I bring you a boozy twist to history’s classic concoction.

Spiked Lemonade

Although it’s the perfect beverage for any 4th of July celebration—this is not your kid’s lemonade, so adults only.

Serves 2

• 1 cup homemade lemonade

• ¼ cup vodka

• ¼ cup limoncello*

• Ice, for serving

• Fresh mint for garnish
