Bootlegs are one of my favorite summer cocktails. Helps that they're served at every country club and restaurant in the Twin Cities! It's citrusy and minty and a little sweet. Perfect for the porch or pool or boat! We make bootleg mix with mint from our garden when we arrive at the cabin and enjoy it all weekend!
Bootleg Mix
1 can frozen lemonade
1 can frozen limeade
2 bunches mint
1/4 cup simple syrup
1 frozen lemonade can almost full of water
Add frozen lemonade, limeade, simple syrup and mint to regular sized (not Vitamix sized) blender. Puree until the mint is in little pieces. Add the can of water to the blender and blend again. This is your mix. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge up to a week.
Bootleg Cocktail
2 parts booze (vodka or gin)
3 parts bootleg mix
2 parts club soda.
Fill tall glass with ice. Add booze, bootleg mix, and top with club soda. Garnish with mint and serve.
