The National Tonic Cocktail is a light refreshing mixed drink made with bourbon whiskey. It is a good cocktail to have when you are chilling out on a hot, summer day while sitting in your easy chair on the front porch or patio. To add a bit of sweetness, I used Makers Mark bourbon whiskey. If you are watching the calories use Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale. This cocktail originated from Southern Living’s Bourbon & Bacon Cookbook.
