Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Make honey syrup (if needed)

    If you don't have honey syrup prepared, combine equal parts honey and hot water (for this recipe 0.5 oz honey + 0.5 oz hot water). Stir until fully dissolved and let cool. Measure 0.5 oz for the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Add 2 oz Bushmills Red Bush Irish whiskey, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, 0.5 oz ginger liqueur, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

  3. 3

    Fill the shaker halfway with ice (cracked ice or cubes). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

  4. 4

    Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass over fresh cracked ice or a large ice cube.

  5. 5

    Express an orange twist over the drink to release oils, rub the peel on the glass rim if desired, and drop the twist into the glass as garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately.
