Whiskey Punch

By MooK

Ingredients

• For the honey simple syrup:
• 1 1/2 cups honey (an entire 12-ounce plastic bear)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• .
• For the punch:
• 1/4 cup honey simple syrup
• 4 cups lemonade
• 3 cups whiskey
• 4 cups club soda
• Lemon slices and ice, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Bring honey and water to boil over medium heat. Reduce to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and has almost halved in volume. This means you’ll be left with about 12 ounces of simple syrup, which is way more than you’ll need for this drink: Store it in a jar in your fridge (it’ll keep for a few weeks) to spoon into your tea in the morning.

Stir all liquids together in a big bowl. This yields a little less than 3/4 gallon, so pour it into a gallon-sized plastic travel jug and take it for a picnic. Pour it into plastic, park-approved cups over ice. Garnish with a lemon slice
