Ah, the Kentucky Lemonade—this drink brings bourbon’s bold, smoky warmth into a refreshing citrus combo with lemonade and a bit of fizz from ginger ale (or Sprite, if you're feeling sweeter). It’s a cocktail that toes the line between a Southern-style lemonade and a whiskey highball. Mint adds a touch of freshness, while the lemon slice keeps things tangy and bright. It’s perfect for sipping on a porch somewhere in Kentucky—or anywhere, really.
