California Lemonade

Despite its innocent name, the California Lemonade is a whiskey-based cooler that packs a punch. This refreshing highball balances the warmth of blended whiskey with the tartness of fresh lemon and lime juices, sweetened slightly with grenadine and sugar, and topped with sparkling water for a fizzy finish. Perfect for a sunny afternoon on the West Coast.
