Easy Alcoholic Lemonade (Spiked Lemonade) Cocktail

What alcohol goes well with lemonade?

Limoncello is an obvious choice because of the lemon flavor of the liqueur. If you prefer, you could use vodka (plain or lemon) or white rum instead. However, that gives the drink more of a bite than the limoncello.

What kind of alcohol is in spiked lemonade?

In commercially available spiked lemonade, like Simply Spiked, it’s most often vodka. For this homemade alcoholic lemonade, you can control what it’s spiked with and limoncello is the best!

What is spiked lemonade made of?

Lemonade and limoncello (or another alcohol!).

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. If you are having a party or gathering, you can mix up a pitcher of spiked lemonade. Just don’t add any ice and refrigerate the pitcher until you are ready to serve.
