Gold Rush Cocktail

First, make your honey syrup by heating 1 cup of honey and a 1/3 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until all the ingredients have been integrated. Remove from heat, let cool, then refrigerate. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to a week.
Now it’s time to make the cocktail! Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Sip and enjoy! This cocktail normally doesn’t require a garnish but I added a lemon wheel purely for aesthetics.

However easy the Gold Rush is to make, it’s essential to use a decent bourbon, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a quality honey for your honey syrup.
