Steps:
- Put 3 cups ice in a blender. Add 1/2 bottle Lemoncello, 1 cup lemonade and 1/4 cup strawberry syrup. Add more lemonade if mixture is too thick for your liking. Put a few sliced strawberries in the bottom of each glass before pouring in spiked lemonade.
- If the drink is too bitter, you may have to add a squirt more syrup.
- Feel free to blend the fresh strawberries in as well, instead of using them as a garnish.
- You can vary this reipe to suit your taste, by adding raspberry syrup and raspberries, or cranberry juice is good too. I also like to use Minute Maid Tropical Punch fruit juice in place of the one cup of lemonade added to the mix.

Tips:
- Choose ripe lemons: Using ripe lemons will ensure that your spiked lemonade is bursting with flavor. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and feel heavy for their size.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary can add a refreshing burst of flavor to your spiked lemonade. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can also use dried herbs, but be sure to use less as they are more concentrated.
- Make a simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. Adding simple syrup to your spiked lemonade will help to balance out the tartness of the lemons and make the drink more refreshing.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making your spiked lemonade will help to keep the drink cold and refreshing. You can chill your lemons, water, and vodka in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before starting.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of sugar or simple syrup you add to your spiked lemonade is a matter of personal preference. Taste the lemonade as you make it and add more sweetener if desired.
