Method

Prepare Honey Syrup

1

Make syrup

Combine equal parts honey and hot water (for this recipe use 0.5 oz honey mixed with 0.5 oz hot water) in a small container and stir until fully combined and smooth. Let cool briefly if still warm.

Mix Cocktail

2

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

3

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 6 ice cubes, cap it, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled.

4

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled old-fashioned glass over one large ice cube or into a coupe if you prefer it neat. Use a fine mesh strainer if available to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish & Finish

5

Garnish

Express the oils of a lemon wheel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle squeeze, then drop the wheel in. Optionally slap a thyme sprig between your hands to release aromatics and rest it on the rim or float on top.

Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
