Why Whiskey Lavender Lemonade Sings in Spring

Whiskey—bourbon or Tennessee (27 CFR § 5.22: 51% corn, new charred oak)—brings a sweetness that loves spring’s light air. Lavender and lemon turn it into a patio king—perfect for May brunches or garden chills. It’s whiskey’s spring buzz, sweet yet sharp.

Whiskey Lavender Lemonade Recipe—Step by Step

• Ingredients:
  • 2 oz whiskey (90 proof recommended)
  • 1 oz lavender syrup (1:1 sugar and water, steeped with dried lavender)
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 3 oz cold water
  • Ice
  • Lavender sprig garnish
• Method:
  Shake whiskey, lavender syrup, and lemon juice with ice for 10-15 seconds, strain into an ice-filled Collins glass, top with cold water, and garnish with a lavender sprig. Sip and sting—it’s spring’s sweet hum.
