Spring Cocktails: Mommy, is Uncle Jack visiting?

What’s Jack Daniels doing in my lemonade? Making it delicious! Vodka and lemonade is a great summer refresher, but... Vodka, whiskey and Lemonade is an improvement! The addition of whiskey definitely adds some mettle but it gives the drink a great flavor. 

You might think of Lynchburg lemonade when you think of a spiked lemonade recipe and I’m a fan, no lie. The typical Lynchburg recipe combines Jack Daniels, sweet & sour mix, triple sec and sprite and it’s a great summer drink. 

If given a choice though, I’ll make my drinks without pre-made mixes. Freshness matters! If you’re really ambitious, here’s a lemonade recipe that looks lovely.

Here’s my “Mommy is Uncle Jack visiting?” recipe:

Logan's a fan of making cocktails. Why do it only at the holidays? why not do it when the weather gets warmer and all your clothes come flying off. Yes! From Logan:

If, for whatever reason, Liss can't have a Sierra Nevada, Prosecco is what she reaches for. When she found a recipe for a Prosecco Mojito a few weeks ago, it sounded like a cocktail she'd like a lot. I don't know many people who don't like a Mojito. It's light and refreshing -- a great drink to have on the deck in the sun, but I likes me a variation on a theme! We tried the recipe and it was good, but we felt it had more potential than our results revealed. I made a few changes and additions and we agreed it was better. Don't ask what made me think adding ginger ale was a good idea, but it does add some subtle but tasty flavor.

I had a "knowledgeable" cocktail drinking friend over tonight (they named a drink after him at a local bar) and I made one for him (and for the photo) and he said it was the best Mojito he's ever had. But don't take our word for it -- make this drink for yourself and some friends and you be the judge.
