You can control how much or how little of lemonade vodka you add into the drink. For a stronger drink do a full shot. For a milder cocktail do 1/2 a shot glass of vodka.

Most vodka is made from grains such as sorghum, corn, or even rye. The vodka is produced in a distiller.

How many calories are in a shot of vodka?

For 80 proof vodka, there is roughly 97 calories for a jigger 1.5 oz shot. Depending on the brand and if you buy flavored or not flavored vodka, the calorie count will change. Read the label on bottle.

We enjoy lemonade mixed with vodka or fruit juices. Vodka mixes with simple syrups, flavored syrups, canned pop, and more.

If the bottle of vodka goes unopened, the vodka will essentially never go bad. If the bottle is open you might find it loses the flavor and potency as it once did once it was open. Then you might toss and buy new.

Kitchen notes

You can use Italian soda or lemonade for this drink. It is a personal preference on what you use. We found the strawberry lemonade Italian soda at our grocery store. It added nice bubbles to the cocktail. The strawberries and lemon are optional. They add tons of fun looks to the drink, plus are tasty for the drink. If you can’t find the strawberry lemonade vodka you can use plain vodka. Or reach for another flavored vodka in replace if you feel it will compliment the lemonade. Add a splash of strawberry syrup for added sweet flavor. Make a single cup or a pitcher to serve a crowd. If you make a larger batch just make sure that you leave off the ice. Then pour ice into each cup, that way you don’t water down the cocktail. Give this drink a try for summer cookouts, party, or a pool party drink to sip on. You could also do a limeade version with lime juice and classic vodka. Add in some cherry juice for a cherry limeade vodka drink if you want.
