The star of this recipe is the homemade simple syrup, crafted by simmering water and sugar until perfectly dissolved. This syrup forms the base of our lemonade, which is then elevated with the zesty brightness of fresh lemon and orange juices. The addition of bourbon adds a warm, rich depth that transforms this classic drink into something truly special.
To enhance the experience, we incorporate fresh mint leaves and vibrant citrus slices, creating a visually stunning presentation that’s as delightful to look at as it is to sip. Topped off with a splash of club soda, this Bourbon Spiked Lemonade is both invigorating and refreshing, making it the perfect companion for any occasion.
