Hard Lemonade is a pre-mixed alcoholic beverage that combines lemonade with a light alcohol base, typically malt or vodka. In the context of alcohol and cocktails, hard lemonade adds a tart, citrusy kick and a refreshing sweetness. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for various mixed drinks. Hard lemonade pairs well with additional spirits like gin, rum, and tequila and can be used in cocktails such as the Hard Lemonade Margarita or Hard Lemonade Punch. Its zesty, tangy flavor makes it a popular choice for summer cocktails and easy-to-make party drinks.
