Buffalo Trace Cocktail
Method
Buffalo Trace Cocktail
Prep
Chill an old-fashioned glass (or rocks glass) by filling it with ice and setting aside. Juice a fresh lemon and measure simple syrup and bitters.
Build and shake
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Buffalo Trace bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice to the shaker (enough to chill and dilute) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
Prepare glass
Discard the ice from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Add 2–3 large fresh ice cubes to the glass.
Float extra bourbon
Carefully pour 0.25 oz Buffalo Trace (or a small additional measure of your chosen bourbon) over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink, creating an aromatic top layer.
