Cooking Lesson #1075: Jim Beam Honey Lemonade

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? It seems like everyone is featuring lemonade beverages. At Applebee’s they offer a flight of lemonade cocktails. Craft bars offer lemonade with various added fruit flavors. McDonald’s offers frozen non-alcoholic lemonade and even Burger King (not to be outdone) offers lemonades enhanced with strawberry or mango.
 
Well let me suggest a bourbon-honey infused lemonade. Enjoy a Jim Beam Honey Lemonade on a warm summer day! Smooth bourbon infused with honey, mixed with zesty lemonade, creating a refreshing and balanced tasting cocktail perfect for any occasion any time. Cheers!
 
Prep time:  5 minutes
Yield:  1 cocktail
 
Ingredients 
1-1/2 ounces Jim Beam Honey Bourbon
4 ounces lemonade (I prefer freshly squeezed lemonade)
A big splash of club soda
Garnish with sliced lemon wheels, a lemon wedge and some honeycomb
 
Directions

1. In a cocktail glass filled with ice, add the Jim Beam Honey Bourbon and lemonade.
2. Stir the ingredients and add the lemon wheels.
3. Add a splash of club soda.
4. Garnish the cocktail with a lemon wedge.
5. Your Jim Beam Honey Lemonade is now ready to be served!

What could be better? Delightfully bright and refreshing flavored cocktails are a great toast to the day in any season.
------------------------------------------
ChefSecret:  Jim Beam Honey Bourbon is great, but if you can’t find it simply add 1/4 ounce of honey to Jim Beam Bourbon. It’s not the same, but it is passable.

Quip of the Day:  Q.  How does bourbon stay in shape?  A. It does barrel rolls!
