Pour your favorite Bourbon or Rye (for a nice contrast) then honey syrup and bitters. Top it off with a good quality lemonade (or homemade lemonade) stir and add ice! Play with the amount of honey and bitters to taste! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Editor's Note

A casual whiskey highball that leans on lemonade for a quick, refreshing finish. The honey and orange bitters add a necessary layer of depth to the profile.

This sounds like a perfect, easy-going drink for a warm afternoon! Do you have a favorite type of lemonade you like to use for this, or do you prefer a specific homemade ratio?

Oh this does sound tasty. Definitely, will be whipping up one of these with some 1:1 homemade lemonade.
