If you like bourbon and honey, you will absolutely love this simple cocktail. Its deep golden hue gives it its name. The simple ingredients in this drink come together in the best way, making for a smooth slightly sweet drink. I think this is such a great drink for spring and summer!
How to Make Honey Syrup
Honey Syrup is a lot like simple syrup, but we use honey instead of granulated sugar. To make it:
Bourbon: Find a bourbon whiskey that you truly love. Visiting a local distillery is a great way to try different whiskeys without having to buy a whole bottle. My personal opinion is that Knobb Creek is the best bourbon for this delicious cocktail. Honey Syrup: Adds the perfect touch of sweetness. It gives the delicious taste of honey in an easy to pour syrup. Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is always best for cocktails so grab some fresh lemons.
This syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month. It is perfect in so many drinks. I especially love it in the Bee’s Knees cocktail, similar to a gold rush but with gin instead of bourbon.
Serving
A large ice cube is the perfect way to keep this gold rush drink cold without diluting it. These silicon ice cube trays give the perfect size cube and are easy to keep in your freezer. An extra lemon slice or twist makes the perfect garnish!
