Recipe by Jim Beam
Kick off summer with a refreshing bourbon cocktail created specially for the hallmark summer gathering: the backyard BBQ. Bourbon and BBQ complement each other with their smoky intersection and full-bodied nature. Jim Beam Black is extra aged, adding balance to a tall, sweet glass of lemonade. This front porch kind of drink is simple to make – and we like it so much, we’ve made it our featured cocktail at our own “backyard BBQ” party, the Big Ass Bluegrass BBQ Fest, taking place June 9-10 at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza.
Ingredients:
• 2 ounces Jim Beam Black Bourbon
• 4 ounces lemonade
• Lemon wedge for garnish
• Splash of club soda
Method:
Layer the ingredients over ice in a tall glass, then garnish with a lemon wedge. Recipe makes one serving – double it to share with a friend!
