Drink of the Week! Lynchburg Lemonade

THIRSTY THURSDAY. Time for a TCD drink of the week! (But let’s be real, we don’t need it to be Thursday to find an excuse to make festive drinks.) 💁

Due to the simple fact that I live in Tennessee, it’s pretty much still summer and I refuse to drink anything but whiskey… And why shouldn’t I?! Why not throw some good ‘ole Jacky Daniels in the mix! As long as you keep your sh*t together, you’re golden. Cue our drink of the week: Lynchburg Lemonade. Or in other words, the perfect boozy lemonade to polish summer off with.

Here’s what you kiddos will need…

Shopping List:
Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey
Sweet and Sour Mix
Cointreau (Triple Sec)
Sprite Zero (Because really, who likes calories…)
Fresh Lemons, Limes and Oranges

Get a big pitcher- The more the merrier, obviously.

And, we’re just going to eyeball this because, quite honestly, I don’t need a measuring device to tell me how much whiskey I need… Am I right people?!

INGREDIENTS:
1-part Jacky D
1-part Sweet and Sour Mix (I substitute meddled oranges with lemon and lime juice for the freshness!)
1-part Cointreau
4-parts Sprite Zero

Mix it all up and then cut your lemons and limes, and stir them in!

Put ice in some glasses, and pour! Garnish with lemons and limes and you’re a Lynchburg Lemonade pro!

And when you’re south of the Mason Dixon line, when we say pour into glasses we mean generous pours into large mason jars. 😉

Drink up!

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

Every girl has had a tequila infused night in college where she was referred to the next day as “THAT girl dancing on the bar.”

And to that I say, you go chick! Hell, you’ve had country songs written about you! In my book, I’d say that’s killin’ it.

Everyone is allowed to let loose every once in a while, especially when you’re in college and have an excuse like you just aced that impossible chem test (or in my case, when you just think you f*&^ing kill it and deserve it!) And what better way to do that than with TEQUILA?!

There is really no better feeling than that sizzle when tequila hits your lips. As for those of you who prefer vodka, I seriously question what’s wrong with your taste buds, it tastes like nail polish remover.

On top of tequila being the tastiest of them all, it is also the HEALTHIEST (as if that’s a concern when on a bender). But seriously, it has been proven to lower cholesterol (dissolve fats), optimize cardiac functions and aid in digestions. Doesn’t sound bad to me!

So, if you’re looking for a go-to drink, you don’t want to look like a lush, and you’ve graduated from vodka sodas at the local bar, grab yourself a skinny marg and be MVP of the night! Or you know, just skip the marge and head to the shots! If you’re going out big you might as well skip the fluff and get to the good stuff. Tequila, lime and salt baby!

[Note: To be the crowd pleaser at a pre-party, blend together this beautiful elixir– Herradura Reposado, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Soda Water, Jalapenos and Cucumbers]

That said, happy Tequila Tuesday betches! Make us proud 😉
