Leftover Lemonade Lift

Perfect for using that last cup of lemonade and calling it a win

About the Recipe

I had half a bottle of lemonade leftover from a backyard BBQ and didn’t want to waste it. A little gin and a few shakes later, I had a tart, botanical cooler that honestly made me feel like I had it all together.
