Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

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

2

Add ingredients to shaker

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Buffalo Trace bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

3

Shake

Fill the shaker with 4 large ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well chilled (the outside should feel cold).

4

Prepare serving glass

Discard the ice used to chill the serving glass and place one large ice cube or sphere into the glass.

5

Strain and finish

Double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass over the large ice cube to remove small ice shards and any pulp. This yields a clean, chilled drink with minimal dilution.

6

Garnish

Express a lemon twist over the drink (pinch the peel so oils spray onto the surface), run the twist around the rim, and drop it into the glass as garnish.

7

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate Buffalo Trace's balance of rye spice, oak, and caramel, brightened by lemon and bitters.
