Step One: Gather Your Ingredients

To create your bourbon lemonade, you will need:

2 oz of your favorite bourbon,

4 oz of your favorite lemonade (we use Simply Lemonade),

2 oz of simple syrup,

and if you want it a little bubbly, add 4 oz of carbonated water.

Step Two: Mix Your Ingredients

Once you have all of your ingredients, you can mix them together in a glass or pitcher. Start by pouring your bourbon into a mixing glass or shaker. Add in your freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup, and stir or shake until everything is well combined. If you aren’t a fan of pulp, feel free to strain it through a mesh strainer. If you’re making a single glass, pour the mixture into a tall glass over ice. If you’re making a pitcher, pour the mixture into your pitcher over ice.

Add Your Carbonated Water

This part is optional:

To create that classic lemonade fizz, add your carbonated water to the glass or pitcher. You can use plain carbonated water or opt for a flavored one to add a little bit of extra pizzazz. Stir everything together gently, making sure to incorporate the carbonated water throughout the mixture.

Serve and Enjoy

Now that your bourbon lemonade is complete, it’s time to serve it up and enjoy! Garnish your glass with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint for an extra pop of flavor. This drink is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or enjoying as an after-work indulgence.

Additional Tips:

– If you don’t have a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, you can still create a great Bourbon Lemonade by simply stirring all of the ingredients together in a glass.

– If you want to take your bourbon lemonade to the next level, try adding a splash of bitters or a dash of cinnamon for a little bit of extra flavor.

-If you don’t want your drink too sweet, switch the pre-made lemonade for fresh squeezed lemons or make your own lemonade

Making a classic bourbon lemonade is easy, fun, and the perfect way to elevate your happy hour game. Whether you’re indulging solo or sharing with friends and family, this timeless recipe is sure to please. By following these simple steps, you can become a home mixologist and impress your guests with your top-notch bartending skills. Cheers to summer and sipping in style!
