Tips
You can, of course, pour a whiskey other than Jack Daniel's into this cocktail, and it will be pretty good, but it's not an authentic Lynchburg Lemonade. Should you decide to change up the whiskey, go with another Tennessee whiskey or a full-flavored bourbon.
Choose a quality triple sec. Whatever you do, stay away from those $5 specials that are so common at the liquor store. They're too sweet and unnaturally flavored to do any cocktail any good.
Fresh lemon juice really does make the best Lynchburg Lemonade. One average lemon should yield enough juice for two drinks. Let it reach room temperature and roll it under the palm of your hand on the counter to maximize the juice.
The choices for lemon-lime soda are vast. Sprite, 7-Up, and Sierra Mist are all popular options. If you want a splash of something really interesting, try Q Drinks Lemon or Fever-Tree Sparkling Lemon.
