  • 1 ½ fluid ounces bourbon whiskey

  • ½ fluid ounce triple sec

  • 3 cups ice, divided, or as needed

  • 2 fluid ounces club soda

  • 1 lemon slice

Directions

  1. Combine hot water and brown sugar in a cocktail shaker. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice, bourbon, triple sec, and 1 cup of ice. Cover and shake until chilled, 15 to 20 seconds.

  2. Fill a highball glass with ice. Strain cocktail over ice and top with club soda. Stir to combine. Garnish with a lemon slice.

Cook's Tip:

You can pre-make the lemonade in larger quantities. For 4 servings, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup hot water in a pitcher and stir to dissolve sugar. Add in 3/4 cup lemon juice, 3/4 cup bourbon and 1/4 cup triple sec. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use. To serve, pour into 4 ice-filled highball glasses and top each with 2 ounces club soda.
