Bourbon Lemonade

Cheers to our Founding Fathers and America’s national spirit, bourbon! I present to you the All –American combination of Bourbon and Lemonade. Obviously, I reached for my Smoke Wagon Patriotic Bourbon release to whip up this summer crusher. I usually make my own fresh lemonade with monkfruit sweetener and a touch of honey in lieu of sugar to kick out the extra calories, but any strong lemonade will work here. Pair this libation with backyard BBQ’s and fireworks!
