Light and tart lemonade is a summer staple, but let's raise the stakes with an adults-only version. Lemon juice and simple syrup come together to make an easy base for a cocktail. I like gin for its herbal flavors, but tequila, rum and vodka can each find a home in lemonade. For a twist, and some grenadine for pink spiked lemonade, and garnish with some alcohol-preserved fruit.
