Spicy Southern Lemonade

I'm pretty sure that we're finally done with winter here in Wisconsin, although we did just get a few inches of snow on April 28th. On the small off chance that we're not though I'm still trying my best to at least make it feel like summer with this Southern Comfort Lemonade.

I've been on a bit of a spicy drink kick lately, so to mix things up a little I also muddled a few slices of chili peppers in with the drink. If you're looking to make your drink extra spicy you can use habanero peppers like I did. If you don't want it quite as spicy serrano peppers work great. Or, if you just want a small amount of kick you can use a couple jalapeño slices. I also added a splash of sparkling water to give the drink some carbonation.

So, cheers to spring and summer and the hope that here in Wisconsin we'll have at least four or five months to enjoy this drink before it's no longer warm outside anymore. Then again, I have a feeling that I'll be enjoying this drink year round from here on out....
