Home Brewed Hard Lemonade (Like Mike's But Harder)

Is your vision of summer sitting on the back deck, drinking some lemonade...but that lemonade has some alcohol in it?? Well if so, and you've wondered how to make some Mike's Hard Lemonade at home, give this recipe a try. The best news is you can increase the amount of sugar in the recipe if you want more alcohol, or decrease the sugars to bring the alcohol down. A little planning ahead but it's not an easy brew to do - hardest part is waiting for it to ferment!
