Directions

  • Fill a shaker half way full with ice. Pour in the lemonade, club soda and sugar. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the shaker. Pour in the vodka, cover and shake well.

Enjoy!

I had some homemade lemonade (sugar free, made with Truvia) that I used in this recipe. I made this into a one-person serving by pouring it in a very large glass. Very refreshing drink--not too sweet, perfect amounts of lemon, vodka and fizz. Read More

Just so so - however we used Crystal Light lemonade so maybe that was the problem. It doesn't taste very vodka-y but I sure felt it afterward.:) Read More

I enjoy making a pitcher of these and when I get off work I just pour me a tall glass! Before you know it that glass then the pitcher is gone and you find your're self making another pitcher. Nice lemony drink! Thanks. Read More

Oh Boy, I like this Collins! I didn't add as much soda water and made it even more lemony. You can't even taste the vodka I put 6oz to this recipe and the still went down smooth. Thanks for the Drink! I owe you one! Read More

These were a big hit. I used the homemade recipe for Lemonade on the site and just added 7-up (1 cup) and Lemonade (2 cups) to 6 oz of vodka. Just right. Read More

This seemed a little to watery. Cut the club soda in half and it is great. For something a little different occasionally add a splash of grenadine. Read More

Using a simple syrup in lieu of granulated sugar eliminates the undissolved sugar at bottom of glass. Read More

This is quite good but don't use the vanilla vodka recommended by someone else unless you REALLY like vanilla. Much better with plain vodka. Read More
