Jump- Step One: Add all ingredients to a blender (including the ice). Crust until slushy.

How to serve it
Cocktails are always fun to decorate! Garnish with some lemon slices or candied lemon rinds and fresh mint. You could also top it with fresh blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
Go all out and rim the glass with sanding sugar for a touch of sweetness in every sip.
- Keep the lemonade and vodka in the fridge so it’s nice and cold.
- You can also chill the glass first.
- For a non-slushy version, pour the lemonade and vodka over ice.
- This recipe is for a single serving, so scale up as needed.
- Homemade blackberry lemonade would be great for a flavor twist!
