Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters, 1 tsp of Simple Syrup, and 0.5 oz of Fresh Lemon Juice.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes (approximately 1 cup), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from your cocktail glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the chilled glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Twist a lemon peel over the drink to release the oils and then place it in the glass as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Trace cocktail!
