Ingredients
Cocktail
Cocktail
1. Make honey syrup
If you don't have honey syrup ready, make it by combining equal parts honey and hot water (1:1 by volume). Stir until fully incorporated and let cool. Measure 0.75 oz for the recipe.
2. Combine and shake
Add 2 oz Buffalo Trace bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz honey syrup and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to chill and dilute properly.
3. Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled (you should feel it become very cold).
4. Strain
Double-strain (using a Hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer) into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube or sphere. If you prefer no ice, strain into a chilled coupe.
5. Garnish and serve
Express the oils from a lemon peel over the glass by holding the peel with the outer skin facing down and giving it a quick twist; rub the peel along the rim and drop it into the drink as garnish. Serve immediately.
6. Estimated taste profile
Sweet, bright citrus notes balanced by the caramel/vanilla of Buffalo Trace and rounded with the botanic spice of Angostura bitters. Adjust honey syrup to taste for more or less sweetness.
