Note

Adjust the amount of whiskey to taste depending on your preference for alcohol strength.

For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the whiskey and increase the amount of iced tea or add sparkling water for fizz.

If the mixture is too sweet, add more lemon juice or plain iced tea to balance the flavor.

Serve in chilled glasses for the best experience. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
