Pour ginger beer over vodka. Top off with grape juice. Squeeze some lime juice in glasses, stir with a clean straw to mix. Serves 4.

  This weekend is the Michigan Lavender Festival. This lemonade's refreshing whether you're going to the festival, on a sunny day or anytime. I've used premade lavender syrup, you can find it online. 4 c. lemonade Purple food coloring  Ice 2 - 3 oz. (4 T.) premade lavender syrup 2 tsp. sugar (enough to coat glass rims) Spoon sugar onto a clean plate. Squeeze a couple of drops of purple food coloring in sugar and mix with a clean fork.

To serve: Remove glasses from freezer,  Place ice in bottom of glass. Spoon some of the syrup in glasses.  Squeeze a couple drops of food coloring in glasses.
