Difford's Guide released earlier this year their Top 100 Cocktails (based on views on their website) and I decided to make them. Or at least some of them. Not in any particular order, because I won't buy all the new booze I need at once, but hopefully this year (or so) I will make all 100. And we are starting with number 100 (even though I said no particular order):
Lynchburg Lemonade
Usually served in a collins glass, it works perfectly well served in its smaller cousin - the highball glass, too. I won't buy all shapes and sizes of glasses just for my cocktails. Not because I don't want to, but because I do not have where to store them.
This one it's really easy to make and from what I read it was created for the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg. And guess who just got some Jack from Santa last Christmas? That is actually why I decided to start with the Lynchburg Lemonade. That and also because I wanted something light and easy to drink.
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 1 1/2 oz/45 ml Jack Daniel's or whiskey of your choice
- 1 oz/30 ml triple sec (Cointreau is my go to)
- 1 oz/30 ml fresh lemon juice
- ice
- Sprite or 7up
- lemon slices (garnish)
Method:
Fill your glass with ice, pour the first three ingredients and stir. Top up with Sprite or 7up (or any lemon-line soda). Garnish with lemon slice.
Yum! Enjoy!
