Notes
To make this mermaid spiked lemonade by the pitcher, I would recommend doubling the amount of each ingredient. Fill a large pitcher about 1/3 of the way with ice, add the remaining ingredients, along with a handful of lemon slices, stir, and serve immediately!
If you are planning on making a pitcher of this mermaid drink for a party, I would recommend combining everything but the ice in a pitcher and popping it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Then you can either serve it over ice or add some ice to the pitcher, then serve!
