Speaking of cocktails, I made bourbon/lemonade drink for the first time and it was great!
Mason Jar Bourbonade
1 lemon
3 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon
Crushed ice
Club soda
3 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon
Crushed ice
Club soda
Halve lemon. Cut lemon half into quarters; reserve remaining lemon half for another use. Place lemon quarters and sugar in a pint-size jar. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle lemon wedges. Add water, bourbon, and ice. Cover and shake for about 20 seconds or until sugar is dissolved. Top with club soda.
I used Jack Danials since it was handy, tonight it's Maker's Mark.
Edited to add: I should have mentioned that I found 3 Tbsps. sugar was too much for me. I decreased the amt first by 1/2 Tbsps. And then by 1 Tbsp. which I liked better.
