Gold Rush Ingredients
To cut to the chase, you’re going to need these ingredients for your Gold Rush cocktail:
- 60 ml (2 oz.) bourbon
- 30 ml (1 oz.) lemon juice
- 30 ml (1 oz.) honey syrup
Sip on a Gold Rush Cocktail, savoring the delicate balance of sharp, but sweet, honey syrup, strong and smooth bourbon, and fresh zing of lemon juice. A woody aroma with a tart twist!
Gold Rush Recipe: Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Mix It Up
In a shaker, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and honey syrup.
Remember to adjust the ratios to your taste; balance is key!
Step 2: Shake, Shake, Shake!
Fill the shaker with ice, cover it, and give it a good shake.
You’re aiming for a well-chilled, well-mixed cocktail.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Strain your cocktail into a glass filled with ice. If you have a large ice cube, even better; it melts slower and won’t dilute your drink as quickly.
Step 4: Sip and Savor
Now, the best part: take a moment to enjoy your homemade Gold Rush.
Cheers to you, bartender!
