Some Backyard Lemonaid for the weekend!!!

I have not done a fun cocktail in a while. I saw this recipe and I really wanted to try it. I love homemade lemonaid. Growing up, every summer, we always used to make Countrytime and my mom would serve it in these plastic green glasses decorated with painted lemons all over them filled to the brim with ice.

I cannot wait to fill up a glass and sit on my patio with my feet up reading a new book….Bottom’s Up!!!
