I’ve tried two of them. One of them was pretty good, but one of them was amazing.

I also tried the jack and cola last night. It was fine but a bit perplexing. They’re obviously using off brand cola and and their definitely is a whiskey taste but it feels a bit sweet

Lynchburg Lemonade

The drink was created and given its name by Alabama restaurant and lounge owner Tony Mason in 1980. It was the subject of the 1987 court case Mason v. Jack Daniel Distillery [1]. Mason alleged that a Jack Daniel's distillery sales representative visited his restaurant and somehow learned the recipe for the drink, which he contended was a trade secret. A year later, Jack Daniel's launched a national campaign to promote the drink. Mason subsequently filed suit in the Madison County Circuit Court, seeking over US$13 million in compensatory and punitive damages for misappropriating his recipe. The court ruled in his favor, but only awarded Mason US$1 million in damages. In Mason v. Jack Daniel Distillery, Mason appealed the decision to the Alabama Civil Appellate court, which found that Mason could be entitled to more than nominal compensatory damages and overturned the decision, ordering a new trial.

1 oz Jack Daniel's Whiskey
1/2 oz triple sec
1 oz sweet & sour
Lemon-lime soda

Pour the whiskey, triple sec and sweet & sour into a collins glass filled with ice.

Top with lemon-lime soda.

Stir well.

I seem to remember that it was actually $1 not 1 million.

The recipe is also actually.

1 oz Jack Daniel's Old No. 7®
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Sour mix
4 oz Lemon-lime soda

Tony Masons was a pretty happening place back in its day. According to my parents.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) _ A retrial of a $13 million lawsuit over a Jack Daniel’s drink recipe for Lynchburg Lemonade concluded Tuesday with a jury verdict in favor of the whiskeymaker’s parent firm. Former Huntsville lounge owner Tony Mason filed suit, claiming ownership of the recipe. But a Madison County Circuit Court jury deliberated just 40 minutes before ruling in favor of Brown Forman Distillers Corp. and against Mason. Mason first sued over the Lynchburg Lemonade recipe in 1983, but the first trial ended with the jury awarding him only $1 when the judge instructed the panel it could only consider nominal damages. An appeals court then ruled punitive damages could also be considered, setting the stage for this month’s retrial.

You can't practically own a recipe. You can copyright the printed page and you can trademark the name, but the specific ingredients and proportions cannot be protected.

So Mason (the little guy) got fricked on retrial after rebuffing the initial $1M settlement?
