How to Make Tennessee Lemonade

  1. Make Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture simmers gently. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Muddle the Lemon: In a cocktail shaker, muddle 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons).
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of triple sec, 1 ounce of simple syrup, and a handful of ice to the shaker.
  4. Shake Well: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a Collins glass filled with ice.
  6. Top it Off: Add a splash of club soda and garnish with a lemon wedge.
