Welcome to the Guy Gourmet Happy Hour series. Check back here each Friday afternoon and we will hit you with a fresh and simple recipe designed by industry pros. This week: Lynchburg Lemonade.

For this holiday weekend we teamed up with Gabe Orta at Bar Lab in Miami who developed a fresh twist on the Jack Daniel’s recipe. The fresh fruit and herbs in this recipe replace dried mix and soda to create an instant, refreshing upgrade to this this classic JD staple.

Planning to crank up the BBQ this Memorial Day? This Lynchburg Lemonade’s sour mash whisky base and perfect blend of sweet, sour and even a hint of savory pair beautifully with Guy Gourmet’s ass-kicking BBQ beef brisket recipe. So cook up, cool down and let’s not forget to hoist one to our troops. Hooah!

What you’ll need:
2 oz Jack Daniel's
1 oz peach pureé (pulse 1/2 peach in a food processor)
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz simple syrup (Combine 3 parts water to 2 parts simple syrup, fresh lemon and lime juice)
3 thyme sprigs

How to make it:
Add all ingredients into a shaker. Shake well and strain into a highball glass. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
