A Southern Girl's Lemonaide


I saw this recipe and immediately thought of two of my gin loving BFFs.

Hardee you should be happy that not only is this post dedicated you to (and also to yo mama) but also that I'm getting a post up this early...its a good sign as to what's to come for the rest of the day!

This drink is called "A Southern Girl’s Lemonaide" and is one of the signature drinks at the W Hotel in Atlanta:


Combine 1½ oz. gin, ¾ oz. Grand Marnier, ¾ oz. fresh lemon juice, ¾ oz. honey, 4 muddled cucumber slices, and 4-6 muddled mint leaves in a shaker.

Shake and loosely strain over crushed ice.

Top with soda and garnish with a mint leaf and cucumber slice.

Bottoms up and enjoy!

  1. What's truly fabulous is that Katrina and I will be planting many of this drink's key ingredients in the garden this weekend while you are lollygagging around Tupelo.
