  • Sparking Spiked Peach Lemonade. Take advantage of those ripe, juicy peaches while they're in season. This recipe shares a hack for how to peel peaches quickly, which makes whipping up a batch of this hard lemonade even easier.
  • Pink Lemonade Mojito. Although strawberries are sold year-round, their peak season is April through June. So take a Saturday afternoon off and drive to your local pick-your-own strawberry patch.
  • Boozy Mint Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. You can make the lemon mint syrup for this lemonade ahead of time and mix the final drink before your friends come over.
  • Sangria Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. The name of this recipe tells you everything you need to know! Sangria + lemonade = the perfect drink for brunch.
  • Watermelon Mint Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. Still have some watermelon left over after that Sunday cookout? This hard lemonade recipe is the perfect way to use it up.
  • Cherry Limeade Slushie. Unsplash on unsplash. Technically this recipe is for limeade, not lemonade. But really, who can tell the difference? To cut down on the prep time for this recipe, pit the cherries with a straw or pastry tip.
  • Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. I remember going blackberry picking as a child and coming home with deep purple stains on my hands. This recipe will take those nostalgic memories and feed them back to you in a glass of lemonade.
  • Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. Want to feel a little more fancy? This hard lemonade recipe uses elderflower liqueur, which is made from a dainty, white flower that blooms in the spring and summer in Europe.
  • Jack Daniel's Lynchburg Lemonade. Unsplash on unsplash. This recipe comes straight from the Jack Daniel's site. Fun fact: it's named after Lynchburg, Tennessee, the home of the famous whiskey distillery.
  • Shandy. If all else fails, make a shandy. Perhaps the easiest drink on this list, all you need is some beer and lemonade. A Pilsner or a light IPA is ideal for a shandy, as they won't overpower the lemonade.
