Highballs and long drinks · Whiskey
Nothing more than whiskey and lemonade, but the details matter: lots of ice, a good cloudy lemonade and a slapped mint sprig on top. Vanilla and caramel from the whiskey meet tart lemon for an effortless summer drink.

Farnell
Sweet-tart lemon with vanilla, caramel and a light charcoal note from the whiskey. Light, fizzy and very easy to drink.
The Farnell is a simple whiskey and lemonade highball, and the origin of its name is not documented. It belongs to a long tradition: American whiskey mixed with lemon and sugar has been drunk since the nineteenth century, and whiskey with lemonade is one of the most common bar calls in pubs and at barbecues.
The best-known relative is the Lynchburg Lemonade, named after the Tennessee home of Jack Daniel's distillery, which adds triple sec and lemon-lime soda. The Farnell keeps it simpler, letting the whiskey and the lemonade speak for themselves.
Yes, bourbon works just as well and tastes very similar.
A good cloudy lemonade with real lemon juice. Very sweet sodas overpower the whiskey.
There is no reliable information about the origin of the name.
The perfect sound
A relaxed porch afternoon with whiskey and lemonade.
