This boozy lemonade is the perfect way to stay cool (and tipsy) on a hot Summer day

Kentucky Bourbon Lemonade takes old fashioned homemade lemonade and adds sweet boozy bourbon and fizzy ginger ale to make one refreshing warm weather drink.

It's Friday again, and that means it's time for a cocktail.

And considering just how dang hot it is outside (seriously, it's gross), we need a refreshing cocktail.

This drink is sweet, tart, and a little fizzy. A sprig of fresh gives a sweet fresh aroma when you take a sip, too. Plus it looks pretty.

It's very safe to say that I'll be drinking these allll Summer long.
