Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass (optional)

Place a rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to chill it.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 6 ice cubes, 2 oz Jim Beam bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

3

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

4

Prepare serving glass

If you chilled the rocks glass with ice water, empty it. Fill the serving glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup).

5

Strain and serve

Double-strain the shaken mixture over the fresh ice in the serving glass using a Hawthorne strainer and, if available, a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.

6

Garnish

Express the lemon twist over the drink by holding it peel-side down and giving it a quick twist to release oils, then rub the peel on the glass rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.

7

Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
