  • Add 1 cup of vodka to the pitcher and serve or add 2 ounces of vodka to each 6 ounces of poured lemonade.

  • Alternatively, leave the vodka on the side to allow guests to make their own cocktails, I recommend about 2 ounces of vodka per serving. Serve in glasses full of ice cubes with slices of lemons.
