For an extra chill, pre-chill your bourbon and club soda. Adjust the sugar to your liking. Some prefer a slightly sweeter or more tart cocktail. Experiment with different types of whiskey to find your perfect flavor profile. Rye whiskey adds a spicy complexity. If you don't have club soda, sparkling water can be used as a substitute. For a visual appeal, consider adding a cherry alongside the lemon slice as a garnish.
