Skinny Hard Lemonade Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: You can meal prep (or make party pitchers) by making the drink and skipping the ice. Then cover (jars are great for this) and store for later.
Storage: Will hold for 2 days in the fridge, or add to the freezer for 2 weeks (it won’t freeze solid thanks to the booze).
Serving: Pour over ice and enjoy.

In a small saucepan, combine all-natural zero calorie sweetener and 1 cup of water.
Bring to boil and stir to dissolve all-natural zero calorie sweetener. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Squeeze all the lemons, and strain out any seeds, but leave pulp if you like (I do!).

Chill until you're ready to make skinny lemonade cocktails.
