Summer coming to an end calls for cocktails. And what better, really, than a good, old-fashioned hard lemonade? We amped up the volume a little, tossing in a generous spoonful of vanilla and a nice turn of rum. The result is a summery cocktail fit for just a little more poolside sipping.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla
• 6 cups cold water
• 2 Tbsp. rum per glass of lemonade

Instructions

1. Combine sugar and water in a sauce pan and heat until sugar dissolves.
2. Pour the sugar into a pitcher along with the lemon juice and vanilla. Stir.
3. Pour in the water and stir well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Once ready to serve, pour 2 Tbsp. of rum into a glass and top with lemonade
