Jeremiah Weed Lightning Lemonade

20110707:
12 fl. oz. can.

Slight alcohol taste at first, but the finish is a lemonade flavor. Then after several sips, the alcohol taste settles away. Steph mentioned using tea to make a good Arnold Palmer. But I'm under the impression there's already a tea taste to it. Of course that's probably just the alcohol flavor that I'm mistaking for tea. As far as I can tell, there is little to no carbonation.

Hmm... the alcohol taste comes and goes.

It would be reasonable if the Lightning Lemonade uses Jeremiah Weed (bourbon whiskey) as one of the ingredients. One recipe I found online for a Lightning Lemonade calls for 1 oz Smirnoff® Lemon Twist vodka, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz sweet and sour mix, and 4 - 6 oz Minute Maid® lemonade. The recipe says to "[t]ake a glass and fill it with ice and 3/4 lemonade. Then pour in the three shots and stir. Garnish with a lemon if desired."

In conclusion, I'd say there might be better drinks out there, but Jeremiah Weed Lightning Lemonade does alright.
