Hi Michelle
I'm a new reader from Australia and was hoping you could help me out with a substitute for the frozen lemonade concentrate? Or even a method to make my own?
Many thanks!
Hi Meredith - welcome to JSTK and thanks so much for your note! This recipe can be used as a substitute for the frozen lemonade concentrate and water used in JSTK recipes - it is basically just a really strong homemade lemonade (which is what you get when you dilute the lemonade concentrate with water).
Lemon syrup: 1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups water
4 medium lemons, each cut into 8 wedges
Combine, sugar, water and lemon wedges in a saucepan. Muddle the lemon wedges. Heat on medium, bring to rolling boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain immediately. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature before using.
Hello ! I'm a new reader, and I've been searing for a great lemonade recipe to go along with a drink that I call "Skittles", which is:
1 part Bicardi Dragon Berry flavored Rum (strawberry rum)
3-6 parts lemonade (depends how strong/weak you'd like it)
and about 2 parts Sprite
If I replace the vodka with the strawberry rum, should I still add the sprite to get this flavor?
-Kathy, thanks for reading !
Hi Kathy - your "Skittles" drink sounds really good . . . I haven't run across that combo yet but am excited to try! I would add the Sprite, because it will add that little bit of candy-ness, which am guessing is central to "Skittles" appeal. Let me know how it turns out! Welcome and XO, Michelle
Just made these tonight, delicious!!!
Love your blog! I'm planning a cocktail party for a bridal couple and came across Wedding Cake vodka. Any ideas for jello shots using it? I think it be a lot of fun but want them to be classy as well.
