There are a few other versions of this drink here on Zaar but none quite like this one! These were really popular on the TV show Greek! Now I know why! Enjoy!

a punch, oh yes! Very refreshing and will be nice next summer when temperatures ask for a lemon singer.

Well, this one packs a punch! I reduced the vodka to 2 oz just because I knew I'd be under the table otherwise. This was totally yummy and elegant, and I loved sucking on the lemon, too.
