posted in: Food & Recipes 0

Happy Friday everyone!  We are back with another great drink.  The warm weather in Green Bay continues so we are featuring a yummy Gin Lemonaide that has a hint of green and gold to it.  Make this for your team while watching the Pack beat up on the Falcons!

 

Ingredients

2 Cups simple syrup (make syrup with 1 part water and one part sugar)
2 Cups lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 12-14 small lemons) or a frozen lemonade mix in a pinch
1 1/2 Cups gin
15 fresh mint leaves

Directions

Add sugar and water to a pot over medium heat.  Stir until sugar is dissolved.  Cool completely.

Juice lemons and add syrup to lemon juice.

Wash mint and smack them a few times to release oils.

Add mint to a large pitcher with gin and lemonade.

Add ice and serve!
