Lynchburg Lemonade Recipe

Jack Daniel's: A popular brand of Tennessee whiskey known for its smooth and robust flavor.

Triple sec: An orange-flavored liqueur that adds a sweet and citrusy note to the cocktail.

Sour mix: A blend of lemon and lime juices with sugar, providing a tart and tangy flavor.

Lemon-lime soda: A carbonated soft drink that adds a refreshing and fizzy element to the drink.

Lemon: A slice of lemon used for garnish, adding a fresh citrus aroma and visual appeal.
