- 1 cup granulated sugar (198 grams)
- 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice 6 to 8 medium lemons
- 4 cups cold water (236.59 ml) divided

Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring consistently until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 8 minutes.
1 cup granulated sugar
Transfer to a pitcher and put in the refrigerator. Once cooled, add the lemon juice and 3 cups of water. Stir until well combined.
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 cups cold water
Add 1 cup of vodka to the pitcher and serve or add 2 ounces of vodka to each 6 ounces of poured lemonade.
1 cup vodka
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.
