Instructions:
1. Gather Your Bar Tools: Shaker, a jigger (our favorite linked) for precise measurements, and a strainer for the perfect cocktail.
2. Chill Your Glass: Place your glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to ensure your Gold Rush is served in a perfectly chilled glass.
3. Measure & Pour: In your shaker, measure 2 ounces of your preferred bourbon. The choice of bourbon adds a depth of character, so feel free to explore different brands to find your favorite.
4. Add Citrus: Squeeze the juice from fresh lemons to yield 3/4 ounces of juice Pour this into the shaker with the bourbon.
5. Sweeten it up: Prepare your honey syrup by mixing equal parts honey and hot water. Allow it to cool before measuring 3/4 ounces into the shaker.
6. Shake, Shake, Shake: Seal your shaker and vigorously shake the ingredients. This not only blends the flavors but also adds frothiness to the cocktail.
7. Strain & Serve: Discard the ice from your chilled glass and strain your cocktail into it. The result is a perfect balance of sweetness, citrus with the warmth of bourbon.
8. Garnish: Elevate your Gold Rush by garnishing with a twist of lemon, a dried lemon slice or a wedge on the rim.
