@Simon, looks like you could link to the Lynchburg Lemonade from this page. (There's already a link to here on the Lynchburg Lemonade page.)

Great option for a hot day, and fun riff on the Lynchburg Lemonade. I don't know if it's the JD mixed with the lime, but there's kind of a funky tartness to this that I like. Not too sweet. Just a little bit of carbonation from the soda. Chambord seemed to collect at the bottom, which gave a nice little surprise at the end without being too cloying. As Dávid Ugróczi mentioned, muddling some raspberries into this seems like a nice way to elevate things a little bit, especially during the summer.

I added some extra flavour by muddling 3 raspberries in a shaker and instead of straining I did an open pour. It came out as a lovely, messy beauty :)
