UPDATED: I'VE MADE THIS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE - BUT WITH REAL LEMONADE. I ALSO USE A TAD BIT MORE VODKA TO BE SURE I CAN DETECT THE RASPBERRY FLAVOR. PERFECT! :) This was pretty good, very light and refreshing. Since I am the only "fruit lover" (my fiance is a confirmed fruit hater!), I made this for myself. While grocery shopping today, I saw that Smirnoff vodka was on sale, so I picked some up for the sole purpose of making this (I've been eyeing this drink recipe for a while...). When I got home, I realized that I had only a shot's worth of Minute Maid lemonade left (darn!), but I did have Crystal Light "on the go" lemonade packets in the pantry, so I made an 8 oz. glass and decreased the booz accordingly. I could only taste the Crystal Light!!! My fiance "tried" a sip, and all he could taste was the raspberry flavor (go figure!). I guess time will tell how potent my drink really was :) I WILL try this again (after all, I bought an entire bottle of Smirnoff vodka... lol), but with REAL lemonade, hoping for the best! Thanks for sharing, K-Dub!
