New cocktail hour recipe, it is very good. Mason Jar Bourbonade 1 lemon 3 Tbs sugar 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup bourbon Crushed ice Club soda Halve lemon. Cut lemon half into quarters; reserve remaining lemon half for another use. Place lemon quarters and sugar in a pint-size jar. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle lemon wedges. Add water, bourbon, and ice. Cover and shake for about 20 seconds or until sugar is dissolved. Top with club soda. I did find that the 3 Tbsps. of sugar was a bit too much for me and reduced it the second time to 2 Tbsps. which suited me a lot better. |

Sounds like a hangover in the making ... especially if drunk in hot sun. Dangerous. |

I need to try this. Outta bourbon, maybe I'll make it with Rye instead (the worlds best whisky for 2016 version of it no less) |

Tried it. Used Rye, a lot less sugar and only a little soda. Very dangerous indeed. It's 34 c here today, good thing I have to make these myself. |

I made my first one with Jack Danials. The second one (on the second day) I made it with Maker's Mark.l Both were very good. Glad you liked it. I do like simple, easy to prepare cocktails. |

Glad you enjoyed it! With the weather here back up in the 90's for the next few days, I'll be cracking out the bourbon myself! |

I've since made these in real mason jars (though can't drink out of the damn things) with Makers Mark, very lovely. It will become a staple I think. |

I use the pint size to make one serving and those I can drink out of. And I like the plastic screw tops that are available in both the 'regular' and 'wide mouth'. https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Regular-Mouth-Storage-Caps/dp/B0000BYC4B/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1472651168&sr=1-1&keywords=mason+jar+plastic+lids%2C+regular |
