I don’t want argue or fight, but when someone starts to wax on about making lemonade, I give a little eye roll because I know the best EVER lemonade is found at Costco. Then I found myself reading this post, and Foodie Crush had me at Honey Simple Syrup. I found myself in my kitchen saying culinary challenge accepted. Here is my boozy summer twist on lemonade. Cheers!

 Ingredients

• 1-2 sprigs of mint
• ¼ cup lemonade
• 2 shots of tequila
• 1 12oz Nesbitt’s Honey Lemonade
• 1 fresh lemon

 Honey simply syrup

• ½ cup raw honey
• ½ cup water
• 1-2 sprigs of your rosemary
• 1 slice fresh lemon

 Instructions :In a small saucepan, bring water and honey to a boil. Reduce heat, add a rosemary and simmer for 15 minutes or until reduced by half. Let cool.

 Methodology : Add mint, remaining rosemary, mint and lemon slices to shaker. Muddle together to extract the flavors. Add tequila, honey simple syrup, and ice. Shake well and serve in a rocks glass or juice glass over ice topped with honey lemonade soda. Cheers to summer!
