22. Shove a bunch of basil or mint in a jar of lemonade, hours before anyone has realized they need a drink...
This is what I do, because I usually have to make 15+ drinks for my boozehound friends. I like to use Simply Lemonade or Newman's Own.
...and after it's been hanging in the fridge for a few hours, pour into glasses of ice with vodka or gin + seltzer.
If some herbs get in the glasses, fine, if not, fine. The flavor's going to be there.
23. Muddle cucumbers with a squeeze of honey, then add store-bought lemonade, ice, and vodka.
