HARD STRAWBERRY LEMONADE
Another yummy drink my hubby invented. Wonderful on the rocks, or strain into a martini glass. I buy very large IQF strawberries from a warehouse club - if your frozen strawberries aren't large, add more. Be sure to use Chambord for the liqueur. You can really taste it in this drink, and cheaper raspberry liqueurs taste like cough medicine.

HARD RASPBERRY LEMONADE
A refreshing drink. I had this at a fantasy football pick party. It was great. You have to watch because you can't really taste the alcohol and it would be easy to drink too much.
