New Deal Gold Rush Cocktail Recipe

Gold Rush

This cocktail features our friend Lee Hedgemon’s port barreled vetch honey. This buttery and silky honey adds beautiful flavors of peach, orange, pineapple, almond, and citrus. A perfect pal to our newly released wheated bourbon.

  • 2 oz Distiller’s Reserve Bourbon
  • 1/2 oz The Barreled Bee Barrel-Aged Honey
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1 lemon peel, for garnish

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously to help dissolve the honey (about 20 seconds). Double strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Note: This honey is liquid enough that you won’t need to turn it into a syrup. Just make sure that you keep it at room temperature!

Whiskey Smash

A lesser-known cousin to the whiskey sour, old fashioned and mint julep, but just as delicious!
