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.
See recipe below to make one serving. But this is the kind of drink you’ll want to have on hand for an evening of relaxing outside.
