    If you are looking for a more fruity vodka recipe, this Raspberry Vodka Soda is a great cocktail to make too! It is also a little less sweet than this Vodka Lemonade recipe.

    Measurements in a Cocktail

    When making a cocktail you can use a measurement called a “part”. It is an inexact measurement and just refers to the amount of liquid added. It can be any amount, 1 ounce, 3 ounces, or 1 cup. The key is keeping the amounts/parts equal, so start with whatever 1 part equals. See the chart below:

    “Part” Measurement

    1 Drink: 1 part vodka = 1 oz. and 3 parts lemonade = 3 oz.

    1 Pitcher: 1 part vodka = 1 cup and 3 parts lemonade = 3 cups

    How to Make a Vodka Lemonade

    The key to a really good Vodka Lemonade is the fresh squeezed lemonade! Use the recipe linked, it is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

    You will want to use the ratio of 3:1 to make your drink. That means you will have 3 parts lemonade to 1 part vodka.

    Fill a glass with ice, pour in 1 part vodka (1 ounce) and then 3 parts lemonade (3 ounces), give it a stir and garnish with a lemon wedge.

    Optional Garnish

    Fresh mint can make an amazing garnish in your vodka lemonade! Set a few leaves on the top of the cocktail or lightly tear the leaves in half and place in the drink for a nice hint of mint.

    Notes:

    Parts in a cocktail: A part is an inexact measurement in a cocktail. It can mean 1 ounce or 1 cup, depending on how much you are making. The key is to keeping the parts equal. 
    Example – In this drink it calls for 1 part vodka and 3 parts fresh lemonade. If making one drink that can be 1 ounce of vodka and 3 ounces of lemonade. Or to make a pitcher that could be 1 cup of vodka and 3 cups of lemonade.
