Celebrations.com sent us this frozen cocktail recipe from Becky Hardin, who recreated it based on the Lemon Bar Freeze from The Lemon Bar in Neptune Beach, Florida. “These Frozen Lemon Sparklers aren’t exactly the same as the Lemon Bar Freeze,” says Becky, “but they are pretty darn close.”

The vanilla Greek yogurt adds delicious creaminess to a traditional frozen lemonade cocktail.

You can make it “mocktail,” without the vodka, or you can substitute gin or tequila.

And here’s how to make the best sugar rim.
