The GOLD RUSH Cocktail




Created created for New York's Milk & Honey Bar by T. J. Siegal, the Gold Rush is a simple cocktail of whiskey, lemon juice and honey. It's basically a whiskey sour that replaces simple syrup with honey  and leaves out the egg white.

I happened to have Meyer lemons, which are sweeter than regular lemons, so I dropped the amount of honey a bit. To thin it down I added a bit of the fresh Meyer lemon juice and stirred the honey to a thinner syrup consistency before mixing the cocktail.

This drink is like a chilled whiskey hot toddy, kind of a great idea for summer colds.
