Ingredients....



Start by grilling some lemons.....




Squeeze the juice (of 4 or so grilled lemons) and add maple syrup (1/4-1/2 cup), fresh mint (3-4 sprigs), warm water (1.5 quarts or so) and bourbon (let your spirit be your guide), then muddle. Chill and serve on ice. 




Refreshing and delicious, as well as intoxicating. 

Made for a nice afternoon in the pool.

    I have this aversion to bourbon being a sacrificial anode in any "unique" (including mint juleps but I get over that once a year) recipe, but given this friggin heat and the BGE application here that sounds great.  I would bet the bourbon to water ratio can climb with follow-on batches.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Bookmarked. Always interested in an alternative to bourbon rocks. That looks like a refreshing adult bev. Will try it!
    It's a 302 thing . . .

    @lousubcap: We’re experiencing a huge heat wave here, which is what inspired me. Going to be 119F tomorrow with humidex.

    Simply adjust the brown water content such that it brings you into Low Earth Orbit.  ;)

    @HendersonTRKing: Not to divert my own thread, but if you’re looking for a new twist on bourbon, give whiskey sours a try. Play with the recipe to suit your tastes, and you will not find a better mix anywhere. I’m not really a cocktail kinda guy, but this is worth trying...
