The childhood classic summertime drink of grape juice, lemon-lime soda with a squeeze of fresh lime juice has been given a grown-up make-over by adding bourbon.
In a 2-qt pitcher, mix the grape juice, soda, bourbon and fresh lime juice.
Gently stir as to not dissolve all the carbonation.
Pour into individual ice-filled glasses.
Garnish with the option fresh lime wedges and fresh mint.
To make the classic Grape Rickey, simply omit the bourbon for a mocktail that all can enjoy!
