In 1980 Tony Mason, a restaurant owner in Huntsville Alabama created the Lynchburg Lemonade. It was named after the city of Lynchburg Tennessee, home to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Jack Daniel’s was established in 1866 and was one of the first distilleries registered in the United States. To this day the original recipe is used when producing Jack Daniel’s and even though they refer to the product as Tennessee Whiskey, the product meets every legal requirement to be called a Bourbon.

Interestingly, Lynchburg is in Moore County, a county that has been dry since 1910 so visitors to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery will not be able to sample any of the products.

The glass is called Puzzle and was designed by Ettore Sottsass in 2003 for Venini. Sottsass is most famous for starting the Memphis Design Group in Milan in 1980.
