This is the boozy cousin of the persimmon spritzer.  Set up a mini bar at your party and let guests mix their own.

For each serving you’ll need:

• 1 tablespoon persimmon syrup
• 1 cup sparkling water
• 1 ounce bourbon
• 1 small lemon wedge (cut a lemon into eight pieces)
• ice

In a highball glass, stir together the syrup and sparkling water.  Add the bourbon, the juice of the lemon wedge and some ice.

Enjoy!
