The Perfect Tennessee Lemonade Cocktail
September 24, 2019Y’all. I failed to mention this in my Travel Guide to Nashville, Tennessee , but my very, very favorite cocktail while we were in Nashville was this recipe for the perfect Tennessee Lemonade cocktail! You see, I loved it SO much that before we left the bar, I sweet talked the bartender into writing it on a napkin for me.
I am happy to report, it’s easy to make, super refreshing and you probably have almost every single ingredient in your house right now! ENJOY!
The Perfect Tennessee Lemonade
Ingredients
Please note: This recipe is for one cocktail.
Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar
Cocktail Recipe:
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- 2 medium slices fresh lemon, plus extra for garnish
- 1 1/2 ounces Bourbon (I like Wild Turkey or Makers Mark)
- 1 ounce Triple sec or Cointreau
- Splash of club soda
- Ice
Directions:
– Simple Syrup: In a small sauce pan over high heat, combine equal parts sugar and water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and cool.
– Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, muddle your lemon, and then add your bourbon, simple syrup, ice, and triple sec. Place the lid on your shaker and shake five times, back and forth. Strain and pour into a tall glass filled with fresh ice and finish with a splash of soda on top. Squeeze a lemon slice on top.
Soo easy and soo delicious! Enjoy!
