Comments
This is a straightforward whiskey-lemonade that costs about $3 per drink if you buy mid-shelf Irish whiskey and fresh lemon, making it budget-friendly for a cocktail. All ingredients are stocked at every Charlotte chain—Walmart and ALDI especially offer whiskey and lemon at rock-bottom prices. The stated five minutes is honest, though you'll need a fresh lemon and a juicer or hand squeeze, which adds maybe ninety seconds if you don't prep ahead. It's a one-off drink that won't reheat and offers no leftovers, making it a good single-serving recipe for a weeknight wind-down rather than a gathering.
