Kurticus (Lemonade)

De Lish US!!! My friend Kurt was the inspiration for this cocktail as he created and brought a very similar recipe to a picnic. I altered it a bit but paying homage to him it is named for him. First and foremost, this is a lemonade; made fresh and delicious. The recipe is in two parts, because this can be made virgin and still end up being delightful. Most bar tenders would simply add vodka to the lemonade to spike it, which is okay, but it isn't a Kurticus. And the Kurticus is MUCH better.
Lemonade: In mixing glass, muddle a half a lemon, a dusting of sugar, and three lime wedges. top with ice. Splash of roses lime juice, splash of pineapple juice. top with water. Shake vigorously. Pour over ice in rocks glass. Add heavy splash of soda water. Kurticus: In mixing glass, muddle a half a lemon, a dusting of sugar, and three lime wedges. top with ice.
