Naughty Arnold Palmer

• The Arnold Palmer, equal parts iced tea and lemonade, is a classic, refreshing summertime drink. To make it a cocktail, simply add 1-1/2 ounces vodka, preferably citrus flavored. Garnish with a lemon, just as you would a normal Arnold Palmer.

Basil Lemonade Martini

• Lemon matches well with most herbs in drinks as well as food. Muddle some fresh basil leaves, add ice, 3 ounces of gin or vodka, and 2 ounces of lemonade, shake and strain into a martini glass. Float a whole basil leaf on top for garnish.

Berry Lemon Fizz

• In a glass filled with ice, add 1-1/2 ounces of raspberry or blackberry vodka, then fill with lemonade and top with a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda. The tart lemon and berry flavors are a refreshing combination.

Lemon Rosemary Martini

• For another cocktail with an herbal twist, try this aromatic martini. Coarsely chop a sprig of rosemary and add to a shaker filled with ice. Add 5 ounces of gin and a splash of lemonade, shake vigorously, strain and pour into a martini glass. Garnish with a small rosemary sprig.

Minted Lemonade Punch

• Start by making mint simple syrup: bring 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to a boil, stir until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and add about 1/2 cup of chopped mint leaves. Let steep for 30 minutes. To a pitcher full of ice, add the following for each serving: 1 ounce vodka, 1/2 ounce orange liqueur and 1 teaspoon mint syrup. Fill the pitcher to the top with lemonade and stir. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon wedges.

Citrus Ultimus

• Start with a shaker full of ice. Add 2 ounces of citrus vodka, 1 ounce of limoncello (an Italian lemon liqueur, available at most liquor stores), 1 ounce of lemonade, and then squeeze a few lemon wedges into the shaker and toss in the rinds. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glass and top with a splash of sparkling wine, preferably a dry wine with citrus flavors and aromas. Garnish with a lemon twist.
