Vodka Lemonade With Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Syrup:
• Bring mint, ginger, sugar, and 2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let sit 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass or a small bowl; let ginger-mint syrup cool completely. Cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes.
• Cocktail:
• Combine vodka, lemon juice, ginger-mint syrup, and 4 cups water in a punch bowl and stir well.
• Ladle spiked lemonade into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lemon wheels and mint leaves.
• Do Ahead
• Syrup can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled.

Steps:

• In a pitcher, combine the Simple Syrup, vodka, lime juice, and club soda. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with mint sprigs.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and mint leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for 20 minutes. Strain before using, pressing on the mint leaves to extract as much syrup as possible.

Steps:

• Combine chopped mint and sugar in large bowl. Stir in lemon juice and vodka. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Strain mixture into pitcher. Fill six 6- to 8-ounce glasses with crushed ice. Pour mixture over. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients, except soda, and refrigerate about 2 hours.
• Try to kindof crush the mint with a wooden spoon to release its flavors.
• Strain (you don't have to do this).
• Add soda and serve over ice.
• (note: you don't want your soda to go flat, so you might want to top off each glass with a good splash of soda rather than mixing it with the entire mix) (depends on how fast you will drink this).
