Gold Rush Cocktail

Method

Gold Rush Cocktail

1

Make honey syrup (if not prepared)

Combine equal parts honey and hot water (for example 1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup hot water). Stir until honey is fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature before using. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

2

Build and shake

Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.75 oz honey syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).

3

Shake

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and you feel dilution on your wrist. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.

4

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over a large ice cube or sphere. Double-straining (using both the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer) removes small ice chips and pulp for a silkier texture.

5

Garnish and serve

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils: hold the twist over the glass and give it a quick bend, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it into the glass. Serve immediately.
