Honey used: Whiskey Barrel Aged Honey

A Gold Rush is just bourbon, lemon and honey. It's about as simple as a cocktail gets, so the honey really matters. Our Whiskey Barrel Aged Honey is aged in a bourbon barrel and picks up oak and vanilla. Put it back with bourbon and it tastes like it was always meant to be there.

Serves 1 | Prep 5 min

Whiskey Barrel Aged Honey syrup for the bourbon drinks

Stir 1/4 cup Whiskey Barrel Aged Honey into 1/4 cup warm water until it dissolves. Let it cool before using. It keeps in a covered jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
