Sips & Tips

Technique

Use fresh lemonade or a quality bottled brand. The mint garnish adds aromatics that make this feel more cocktail-like. Plenty of ice keeps it refreshing.

Balance

Bourbon's sweetness pairs naturally with lemonade's sweet-tart profile. This is a crowd-pleaser that works for people who don't usually drink whiskey.
