California Lemonade

Bright and citrusy with a balanced sweet-tart backbone. Lemon and lime juice cut through the warmth of blended whiskey while confectioners' sugar and a splash of grenadine round and color the drink. Served tall over shaved ice and topped with sparkling water, it’s effervescent, visually appealing with orange and lemon slices plus a cherry, and an easy, refreshing choice for summer or casual gatherings.
