The ultimate cocktail for a hot day: This fresh-squeezed lemonade is super light with just enough tequila to give it a little kick, but it's also light enough to sip all day.

Super simple to whip up: We start with a homemade lemonade base, which couldn’t be easier to make, and then we simply stir in tequila. The beginner home bartender can easily make this tequila lemonade recipe.

Prepare it ahead of time: To ensure it’s nice and cold, it’s best to make the lemonade ahead of time. That makes any hosting duties low key and easy, so you can spend your time enjoying company while sipping on a delightful tequila cocktail.

If you love this tequila lemonade cocktail, I bet you’ll also love this collection of fruity margaritas. It includes my favorite raspberry margarita, blackberry margarita and coconut margarita. After all, this recipe just might remind you of drinking lemonade margaritas.

Tequila: While I usually love a reposado tequila for my margaritas, I prefer a blanco tequila. This type of tequila goes straight into stainless steel barrels while reposado tequila is aged in oak barrels for two to 12 months, which gives it a richer flavor. Since lemonade is even lighter than a margarita, the more neutral flavors make it the best tequila for this hard lemonade.

Lemon juice: Make sure you use freshly squeezed lemon juice, not bottled juice. With so few ingredients, quality matters, and bottled juice is not nearly as bright and flavorful as fresh-squeezed lemon juice.

Step 1: We first make a simple syrup by bringing the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat (photo 1). Every so often, we stir to help dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, we turn off the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool.

Step 2: Now we pour the simple syrup in a pitcher along with the fresh lemon juice, tequila and water (photo 2).

And just like that, we have our refreshing tequila lemonade to stay cool on a warm summer night! How easy was that? Add some lemon wedges or lemon wheels to the glass and sip the night away.

While some recipes call for just stirring together the water, sugar and lemon juice, this isn’t the best method. It can be tricky to dissolve the sugar, so you end up with a grainy lemonade. Simple syrup starts with dissolved sugar to

Make an herbed simple syrup: Simply add a handful of herbs and allow the mixture to steep after boiling for 15 minutes. Fresh mint sprigs are especially wonderful. (See my strawberry-mint lemonade and cucumber-mint lemonade for inspiration.)

Blue Lemonade Cocktail

Give it a fruity touch: Add a cup of fruit to the simple syrup or 2 cups fruit purée to the lemonade itself, like in my fresh mango lemonade recipe.

Swap lemon juice for another favorite citrus: Meyer lemons add a nice floral quality, or you could even use grapefruit or lime juice.

Add bubbles: For a bubbly finish, you can add a little club soda, ginger ale, ginger beer or even Champagne. A splash works for individual glasses, or you could add 1 cup of your preferred sparkling beverage in the pitcher right before serving.

I find this lemonade balances the sweet and sour notes. However, if you prefer a more tart lemonade, simply add more lemon juice to your liking.

To quickly cool the simple syrup, pour it into a shallow bowl. The shallow depth will cool much more quickly than if left in a deeper saucepan. Alternatively, you can pour it in another container that sits in a bowl of ice water, also known as an ice bath.

For the perfect summer meal, you’ll love this tequila lemonade with a plate of tacos, like my lobster tacos or chorizo tacos, and some mango-habanero salsa. Talk about one refreshing meal.

I also love this smoked whole chicken with summer cocktails, especially this tequila lemonade. The tart lemon adds some brightness to the BBQ rub and smoky notes.

If you have a sweet tooth, you'll especially want to sip on this drink with a or slice of lemon pie. How perfect does that sound?

When you need the ultimate summer party cocktail, you’ll love this tequila lemonade. No summer gathering is complete without a good tequila drink, and this refresher is perfect.

This tequila lemonade requires nothing beyond the two ingredients in its name. It’s best when you use homemade lemonade because the flavor is

. But in a rush, you can use store-bought too! It’s actually a pretty decent lazy version of a cocktail, in our opinion. Here’s what you’ll need for tequila lemonade:

If you go with homemade lemonade here (and we hope you do!), you can make it by the pitcher or by the glass. The homemade recipe makes 8 cups, but you’ll only need 6 cups for a pitcher of tequila lemonade (refrigerate the leftovers and save for later). You can also make it by the glass, if you’re making only one serving at a time. Here’s what to do:

Tequila and lemonade work so well together, they almost taste like a delicately-flavored margarita! The zing of the citrus is reminiscent of lime juice, though it’s not quite as astringent. But we love the idea of using purchased lemonade as a tequila mixer instead of margarita mix, which can be syrupy sweet. (Of course, the antidote to that is our Homemade Margarita Mix…but we digress.)
