As promised, today we share the recipe for our original cocktail: the Lawrenceburg Lemonade. This isn’t a sticky-sweet drink like its Southern cousin, Lynchburg Lemonade. It pays homage to Anderson County, Ky.’s two fine distilleries, Wild Turkey and Four Roses – and to my husband’s hometown. It gets sweetness from American Honey, a great bourbon liqueur. Lawrenceburg Lemonade is a little lighter than some cocktails, which might make you think of it as a summer drink. But with the warm weather we have been having here in Kentucky, it’s also enjoyable in the dead of winter.
