Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shaker

    Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. This will chill the ingredients as they are mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Pour in 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of orange liqueur, 3 tbs of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbs of simple syrup into the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. This will ensure a smooth pour without any ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it on the rim of the glass as a garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Enjoy your Kentucky Side Car immediately while it's cold and refreshing.
