ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lemonade cocktail

Okay kiddo, you know how when we mix lemon juice and sugar with water, it becomes lemonade, right? Well, a lemonade cocktail is like grown-up lemonade with a special twist!

First, we start with some yummy alcohol like vodka, gin, or rum. Then, we mix it with lemon juice and some sweetener like simple syrup or honey. This is like the lemonade part of the cocktail.

But now comes the fun part! We can add different flavors to make the cocktail even more exciting. Maybe we'll add some berries or mint leaves. Or we might even add some bubbles from soda water or sparkling wine.

Finally, we pour our special lemonade cocktail over ice and enjoy it as a refreshing and tasty drink! But remember, since it has alcohol, it's only for adults to enjoy in moderation.
