Refreshing cocktails are a must have in the summer either for entertaining or sitting by the pool. This is a no hassle kind of cocktail. I recommend making a pitcher; because it doesn’t last. This drink reminds me of a whiskey sour but without all that sour mix.  It’s not too sweet, but just right. Cheers!
