Whisky Cocktail: Lynchburg Lemonade
While this isn’t a complicated cocktail as such, it may take a bit more work than the others I’ve posted so far. This is due to the fact that you may not be able to find one of the ingredients, Sour Mix, in your local shop and thus would either have to order it online or make it yourself. For the great number of Jack Daniel’s fans out there, though, I’m sure it will be worth it! I personally quite enjoy it (like a Whisky Sour) on a warm summer day.
You’ll need:
- 1c of Jack Daniels – can be substituted for other sour mash whiskies or Bourbon
- 1c of Triple Sec – an orange liqueur, if you don’t have/can’t get any, you can use Cointreau
- 1c of Sour Mix
- 4c of Lemonade
- 4-5 cubes of Ice
Method:
Should you have sour mix at hand, all you need to do is put the ice into a Tom Collins glass, add the remaining ingredients and stir gently until combined. Serve with a wedge of lemon. If you don’t have access to sour mix, you’ll need to make some yourself. Fear not, I’ve got a decent recipe for you.
You’ll need:
- 1c Sugar
- 1 pint of water
- 1/2c fresh Lime juice
- 1/2c fresh Lemon juice
- 1 Egg white
Method:
Warm the water slightly; about 40 degrees (just over finger-warm) will do fine, then poor into a suitable glass, jar or bowl for mixing with the other ingredients. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved into the water. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the lemon and lime juice and stir thoroughly, then add the egg white and stir further until you’ve got a nice, smooth mixture. Keep any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.
