Simple Bourbon Well Cocktail (per drink)

For a batch (6 drinks) - optional

Method

Simple Bourbon Well Cocktail (per drink)

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Chill an old-fashioned glass or rocks glass by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you mix the drink (or place in the freezer for 5–10 minutes).

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a shaker, add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Discard the ice from the chilled glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass over fresh ice (one large cube or several smaller cubes).

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink or float a lemon wheel on top. Serve immediately.

Batch preparation (6 drinks)

  1. 6

    In a pitcher or mixing container, combine 12 oz bourbon, 4.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 3 oz simple syrup, and 12 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Keep the batch refrigerated until service. When ready to serve, fill each rocks glass with fresh ice and pour approximately 2 oz of the mixture into each glass (or measure 12 oz batch ÷ 6).

  3. 8

    Garnish each drink with a lemon wheel or twist and serve chilled.
