When the weather warms up, there’s nothing like a glass of fresh lemonade to sip in the heat. And if you’re a cocktail lover, then that can be a great inspiration for a drink too. The combination of lemon juice, honey, and iced tea is a classic one for a reason, and one way to make it even better is to add a shot of bourbon.
That’s the idea behind this recipe from Templeton, using its Fortitude bourbon in a fresh and crisp lemonade recipe that is perfect for enjoying at a picnic or as the evenings get warmer and we all start to head outside to enjoy the balmy spring weather after a long and cold winter. Or alternatively, if you’re looking for something fruitier, then you can make use of Templeton’s well known rye whiskey for a Rye Smash with blackberries and amaretto.
