REFRESHING KENTUCKY LEMONADE COCKTAIL

sweet, tart, and refreshing with a bourbon kick, this Kentucky lemonade cocktail is everything you could want in a drink.  It’s fun, has familiar and easy to find ingredients, and is easy to customize by making non-alcoholic if you’d prefer it that way!

This drink you guys… just wow.  I’m not usually one for adding things to my bourbon… I like it on the rocks and that’s it.  BUT… when added to a homemade lemonade with some mint and ginger ale?  Let’s just say, on the rocks is about to be my second favorite way to have bourbon.


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from approximately 6 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2-2/3 cup Bourbon (depending on your tastes)
  • 6 cups ginger ale
  • additional lemon slices (for garnish)


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water and heat over MED heat.  Heat until sugar dissolves into water and mixture is clear.  Simmer 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  2. Add lemon juice, mint leaves, and Bourbon, then let mixture cool.
  3. Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove solid particles and mint leaves.  Add ginger ale and stir to combine.  Add ice and lemon slices and serve cold.
  4. To serve as pictured:  Add a bit of water, lemon juice or light corn syrup to a shallow plate.  To another shallow plate, add coarse white sugar.  Dip the open end of glasses onto the liquid plate, then onto the sugar plate to create the sugar rim.  Serve drink over ice cubes, garnish with a lemon slice and sprig of mint.

Orange Cream Cooler

One of the greatest memories I have of going out to eat when I was a kid was going to Olga's with my mom and sisters. I loved to get the three cheese olga with an orange cream cooler. My mom wouldn't always let us get the cream cooler, so it was a 'special' treat when we did! This protein packed Orange Cream Cooler tastes almost identical to Olga's famous shake. The only difference is that my version is high in protein, low in sugar, and only has about 200 calories! Beat that Olga's!! INGREDIENTS: 1 Scoop vanilla protein powder 1/2 cup Low fat cottage cheese [1] 51/2 tsp orange extract OR 4-5 True Orange Packets 3-5 Packets of NuStevia (or sweetener of choice) 1/2 cup Skim milk OR Milk of choice OR Water 8-16 Ice cubes (varies based on desired thickness) 2-4 Drops orange food coloring (or a mix of red and yellow) INSTRUCTIONS: The estimated total time to make this recipe is 5-10 minutes. Add all of the ingredients to a blender, adding the wa
