Raspberry Lemonade Recipe ...Vodka Drink Recipe
It Hits the Spot
This raspberry lemonade recipe helped a community project move forward, one day, at my
home. You understand, my community-activist husband invited two very important (influential)
members of the community to our home to "socialize." I knew the real reason ...a community
project that my husband wanted "jump-started."
My husband never seemed to be or become anxious at such meetings. I was always nervous, not
because such guests (who frequent my restaurant) are unkind or totally the most important
people I know. That's wrong. I just hate any tensions or possible tensions among guests.
Sometimes business and liquor don't mix. On the other hand, sometimes things work out. This
was such an occasion.
So not long after saying, "Hi, how are ya?" etc., my job was to offer beverages. Since no one at
this 5 PM get-together was on-duty, my husband started things off by asking for a Scotch on-the-
rocks. Neither of the women wanted a Scotch. One asked me to bring her and the other lady
something "refreshing and smooth."
I had just made a vodka raspberry lemonade drink for a friend of mine a few days before. She
raved about it ...so ...two more were made and served.
Then two more were made and served. Yes, they loved them (fortunately). And so, after an hour
and a half and a couple of raspberry lemonade beverages, an understanding was reached that day.
The community project would get done, maybe even fast-tracked.
So here you have a vodka drink recipe that helped get a community building project completed -
on time and under budget. What a rarity. Was this raspberry lemonade recipe the reason the
community saw the requested project completed? Probably not ...but it makes for an interesting
story. ☺
