This sweet cocktail only requires a handful of simple ingredients:
![Ingredients for Chambord vodka lemonade measured out and placed on a wooden table.](https://www.windingcreekranch.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ingredients-chambord-vodka-lemonade-honey-deuce.jpg)
- Vodka. I recommend you use Grey Goose – a premium smooth vodka. It gives the cocktail a smooth, clean, crisp flavor.
- Lemonade. This adds a tangy flavor to the cocktail. You can use this Homemade Lemonade recipe, your own lemonade, or store-bought lemonade. You can even add more flavor by using raspberry lemonade or pink lemonade!
- Raspberry Liqueur. I recommend you use Chambord – a popular black raspberry liqueur. It adds a fruity flavor to the drink and adds a light pink color. The sweet raspberry liqueur adds sweetness to the drink, so no simple syrup is needed.
- Honeydew Melon. Honeydew melon balls are used for garnish as they emulate green tennis balls. You can also use fresh raspberries, lemon slices, lemon wheel, or a lemon wedge instead. I sometimes add mint leaves for a pop of color, too!
