Health benefits of Whiskey Collins

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar
2 cups Japanese whisky (such as Nikka or Suntory)
1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 5 lemons)
1 12-ounce can club soda
Lemon twists (optional; for serving)

Instructions

Combine sugar and 1/3 cup water in a jar. Cover; shake until sugar dissolves. Combine syrup, whisky, lemon juice, and club soda in a large pitcher. Add 8 cups ice; stir until ice begins to melt, about 1 minute. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon twists, if desired.
DO AHEAD: Syrup can be made 3 months ahead; cover and chill.
