“Beale Street” Jack Daniel’s Lemonade

You can use regular lemonade to make this Southern refresher, but we like to use the tart Italian Limonata made by San Pellegrino (it’s available in most grocery stores).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 drinks

Ingredients

2 ounces Jack Daniel’s whiskey
One 12-ounce can San Pellegrino Limonata (or 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate, thawed, plus 1/4 cup seltzer)
2 teaspoons Maraschino cherry juice
Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Pour the whiskey, half of the Limonata (or all of the lemonade concentrate and seltzer), and the Maraschino cherry juice into a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Shake well to combine, and divide the mixture between two highball glasses. Add the remaining Limonata and garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
