Bourbon Lemonade sits within a long tradition of whiskey and citrus combinations that go back to the earliest days of mixed drinks. It is less a formal cocktail and more a natural extension of that pairing, designed for ease rather than precision.
Bourbon brings weight and warmth, while lemonade lifts and softens it into something more refreshing. The balance depends heavily on the lemonade, so it is worth choosing one that is not overly sweet.
