Tequila Lemonade Cocktail
This Hard Tequila Lemonade is the ultimate summer cocktail! It’s fresh, thirst-quenching, and downright tasty with a little kick!
I’m a bit of a lemonade lover during the summer months! When I was a kid, it was not unusual to see me running around with a lemon wedge in my mouth the way most kids do with oranges, I’d do it still, but apparently, some people think it’s weird. 😉My brothers and I were all like that with lemons; I guess you could say we started out a little tart, though I’m sure our parents had other words to describe our stubborn, independent, and sarcastic personalities.
Nowadays, I’m all about throwing my love of lemons into my food and drinks like these Lemon Cheesecake Crepes or this cocktail! The key to a great lemonade, in general, is real granulated sugar. That’s right, even simple syrup won’t quite do, you’re going to have to shake all the goodness together for the sugar to dissolve into a handcrafted Tequila Lemonade cocktail you’ll want to make again and again!

Definitely on my list this afternoon…
I’m trying this tonight for Canada day !! Can’t wait
Nice! I make a very similar version of this recipe. I use perrier or club soda instead of regular water and I use agave syrup instead of simple syrup.
Gosh, your photos are just amazing. I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Kristen!
