The name alone has my lips puckering for this quenching sip and yours will too once you taste the combination of fresh squeezed tangy lemon, a nip of southern Kentucky Bourbon topped off with a hint of muddled mint.

Ahhhh is right! This recipe yields eight pretty lowball glasses and the ingredients are budget friendly and easy to mix. Kentucky Lemonade Cocktail is easy to customized for your alcohol free guest by simply omitting the alcohol.

What’s so tangy sweet about this recipe is the simple ingredients that can be found at your local grocer and roadside liquor store. Get your “soup coolers” ready for a lemon bourbon blast of goodness.

Ingredients

  • 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, strawberries and mint (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water and heat over medium until sugar dissolves into water and mixture is clear. Simmer 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.
  2. Add lemon juice, mint leaves, and Bourbon, then let mixture cool in refrigerator.
  3. Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove solid particles and mint leaves. Add cold ginger ale and stir to combine. Add ice, fresh mint leaves and lemon slices. Add a few ice cubes to a glass. Pour mixture over ice and garnish with a sprig of mint, slice of lemon and a strawberry.

Notes

Prepare sugar syrup a couple hours before you mix the cocktail to allow time for the syrup to cool.
