WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A GOLD RUSH COCKTAIL?
All you need for a batch of this delicious gold rush is probably in your kitchen right now! Good bourbon, lemon juice, and honey. That’s it. Oh, and ice. It’s a cold drink, after all.
HOW TO MAKE GOLD RUSH COCKTAILS
- Combine 12 ounces of bourbon with half a cup of lemon juice and half a cup of honey.
- Mix all the ingredients together, making sure to fully incorporate the honey.
- TIP: Microwave the honey for ten seconds so it’s easier to pour and combine with the other ingredients. You can also add a small bit of hot water to make it thinner, if nuking it isn’t your thing.
- Pour into tall glasses with large ice cubes and prepare to sit and sip the summer away.
