Bourbon lemonade is a perfect summer drink! Make fresh squeezed lemonade and swirl it with whiskey for a spicy finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 ounces (1/2 to 3/4 cup) homemade fresh lemonade
  • 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) bourbon*
  • For the garnish: Fresh mint, cocktail cherry

Instructions

  1. Make the fresh lemonade. (Refrigerate the pitcher for later use, or make the “By the glass” variation.)
  2. In a glass, pour in the lemonade and bourbon. Add ice and garnish with fresh mint and a cocktail cherry. (If you like bubbly drinks, you can always top off with soda water or ginger ale.)

Notes

*Want a bigger serving and serve in a highball glass? Use 1 cup lemonade and 2 ounces bourbon.
