Tasting Notes

This Honey Bourbon Lavender Lemonade balances floral sweetness and bright citrus with a solid bourbon kick. Broadstreet Infamous Prohibition Proof Bourbon lays a bold foundation, while honey lavender syrup and fresh lemon juice add soft, fragrant layers. Classic lemonade smooths and lengthens each sip. Served over ice in a tall glass, it’s both a summer refresher and a straight-up bourbon treat perfect for backyard get-togethers or a relaxed evening with friends.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for blending and chilling the drink, along with a jigger to measure the ingredients accurately. A citrus press is helpful for squeezing fresh lemon juice. Use a Hawthorne strainer or fine mesh strainer to pour the mixture cleanly into the serving glass. For glassware, a tall glass or mason jar works best—both can hold plenty of ice and highlight the drink’s pale, golden color. A cocktail pick can help position the garnish neatly, and bar tongs are useful for placing the lemon wheel and lavender sprig without disturbing the drink’s surface.

Ingredients

• 2oz Broadstreet Infamous Prohibition Proof Bourbon
• 1oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 4oz lemonade
• 1oz honey lavender syrup
• Garnish with lemon wheel & lavender sprig

Instructions

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pro Tips

• Use a bourbon with a smooth, slightly sweet profile for best balance.
• Make your own honey lavender syrup by simmering equal parts water and honey with dried culinary lavender.
• Strain the syrup well to avoid bitterness from steeping the lavender too long.
• Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for brightness and acidity.
• Chill your glass ahead of time for longer-lasting refreshment.
• A gentle shake is enough over-shaking can mute the floral notes.
• Try edible lavender as garnish for extra visual appeal.
