What goes with Lemonade?
Vodka is the simple answer, because the lemon hides the burn. Gin, tequila and bourbon all work too. Fizzy lemonade also tops beer for a shandy, Pimm's for a British summer drink and advocaat for a Snowball, and it keeps a Blue Lagoon bright.
What does it taste like?
Still lemonade is sweet and sharp, with real lemon. Fizzy lemonade is lighter and sweeter.
Which bottle should I buy?
Use what the recipe means. Simply Lemonade is a common still choice, and Sprite, R. White's or Schweppes do the job for fizzy, which is what a recipe usually wants if it says top up with lemonade.
Goes well with
A soft drink with no alcohol, but the word means two things. In the US it's usually still, made with lemon juice, sugar and water, while in the UK and Australia it usually means a clear fizzy drink closer to Sprite. Mix lemon juice, sugar and water for still lemonade, or use Sprite or 7-Up for fizzy.
Questions
What alcohol goes with lemonade?
Vodka is the easiest, and gin, tequila and bourbon all work too. Sharp, sweet lemon gets along with almost any spirit.
Is lemonade fizzy?
It depends where you are. American lemonade is usually still, while British and Australian lemonade is usually fizzy.
What is a shandy?
Beer mixed with lemonade, usually about half and half. Use fizzy lemonade if you can, and a light lager works best.
