Sweet, tart, and invigorating with a whiskey kick, this Kentucky lemonade mixed drink is all that you could need in a beverage. It's fun, has recognizable and simple to discover fixings, and is anything but difficult to redo by making non-alcoholic on the off chance that you'd like it as such!
We're authoritatively nearing the finish of February, which implies Spring is drawing nearer!! Who else is prepared? We've had a SUPER gentle winter here in Ohio, yet despite everything i'm energized for everything Spring/Summer. Barbecues, baseball, shorts, flame broiling, and fun invigorating beverages, similar to this Kentucky lemonade mixed drink!
This beverage you folks… simply stunning. I'm not generally one for adding things to my whiskey… I like it on the stones and that is it. Be that as it may, when added to a custom made lemonade with some mint and soda? Allows simply state, on the stones is going to be my second most loved approach to have whiskey.
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from approximately 6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2-2/3 cup Bourbon (depending on your tastes)
- 6 cups ginger ale
- additional lemon slices (for garnish)
- In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water and heat over MED heat. Heat until sugar dissolves into water and mixture is clear. Simmer 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Add lemon juice, mint leaves, and Bourbon, then let mixture cool.
- Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove solid particles and mint leaves. Add ginger ale and stir to combine. Add ice and lemon slices and serve cold.
- To serve as pictured: Add a bit of water, lemon juice or light corn syrup to a shallow plate. To another shallow plate, add coarse white sugar. Dip the open end of glasses onto the liquid plate, then onto the sugar plate to create the sugar rim. Serve drink over ice cubes, garnish with a lemon slice and sprig of mint.
