About
Bourbon Lemonade is the backyard essential — fresh-squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup built into a classic sour template, then lengthened with a splash of soda water into something tall, cold, and infinitely crushable. It sits at the intersection of lemonade stand nostalgia and grown-up refinement, delivering the tart brightness of fresh lemon against bourbon's warm vanilla and caramel backbone. Make a pitcher for crowds, serve it over a big ice cube for date night, or just build it in a glass when it's hot outside and you want something cold and boozy with zero effort.
Instructions
- Combine bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously for 10-12 seconds.
- Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice.
- Top with club soda and stir gently.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel and fresh mint sprig.
