MommyTime: Spiked Lemonade

August 2, 2009

This weekend, we’re madly scrambling to get our Lore hugged, kissed, packed and ready to return to Mexico. We’re sad, certainly, but we’re also excited for Lore to open a new chapter in her life. She knows that whatever her future holds, her American family will be watching with love, support and interest.

Me? I have a serious case of the weeps, so I decided to make a nice pitcher of Spiked Lemonade to get hubs and I through the weekend. It didn’t cure the weeps, but it did dull the pain a little. Plus, it was delicious!

Spiked Lemonade (for when you have the weeps or just need a breather)
serves 8, or 2 sad-sack humans over a weekend

1 container (64 oz.) refrigerated prepared lemonade (I used Minute Maid Light)
1/2 cup Lemon Drop Martini Mix (liquor store has them–not the vodka enhanced version!)
1/2 cup Orange Flavored Vodka
1/2 cup Lemon Flavored Vodka
1 fresh lemon, sliced

Set aside 3/4 cup of the lemonade. Combine all other ingredients in a large pitcher. Stir. Chill at least 2 hours and serve over Lemonade Ice Cubes.

Lemonade Ice Cubes
Place a strawberry or raspberry in each square of an ice cube tray. Fill with left over 3/4 cup lemonade. Freeze until firm.
