Not bad on it's own, but adding your favorite whiskey (especially one that pairs well with coffee) makes an refreshing drink I call a Joe Collins (Joe from a "Cup of Joe").

This is nice with Galliano Espresso. A little sweet, but balanced by the lemon's tartness.

Sweet and refreshing. Taste reminds me of humbugs.

It's a coffee flavoured lemonade! And I mean that in the (weirdly enough) best way possible!
