Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Simple — With only 3 ingredients, this Summer Hummer Cocktail is very basic. It is not overly sweet or sugary, so it’s great if you’re looking for a simple drink to make. 
• Refreshing — The combination of lemonade and lime vodka makes this drink extra refreshing, especially when it’s served ice cold on a hot day. 
• No bartending equipment —  You don’t need a cocktail shaker or any other bartending equipment for this recipe.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Lime Vodka: The best option for this recipe is lime vodka as it really gives the cocktail its characteristic flavor. That being said, you can use citrus vodka instead, or regular vodka with a spritz of freshly squeezed lime juice as a substitute.
• Lemonade: Use store bought or homemade lemonade. You can substitute regular lemonade for a flavored lemonade if you prefer, such as pink lemonade or berry lemonade.
• 7Up: Use 7Up or any type of lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite or a generic brand. For a less sweet drink, you can use club soda or sparkling water instead.

How To Make A Summer Hummer Drink

Step 1: Add the lime vodka and lemonade to a tall cocktail glass filled with ice. Stir. 

Step 2: Top with the 7Up and stir again.

Expert Tips

• Use green vodka. Most lime flavored vodka is clear, but sometimes you can find green colored lime vodka. If you have the choice, green vodka gives this drink a unique color. 
• Make it a slushie. This is a great cocktail to turn into a slushie. To prevent an overly watered-down slushie, freeze lemonade into ice cubes and then blend them together with the vodka. Top with ice cold 7Up.
• Add a dash of fruit flavor. For a sweeter drink with a bit more flavor, add in a dash of a simple syrup. This Strawberry Simple Syrup or this Raspberry Simple Syrup would both be great options for this drink.
