GOLD RUSH

The Gold Rush was created in the early aughts at Milk & Honey, the famed cocktail speakeasy on the Lower East Side in New York. It came to be when T.J. Siegal, a friend and colleague of Sasha Petraske, the founder of Milk & Honey, came in one night and asked for a whiskey sour. Spying a batch of honey syrup Mr. Petraske had whipped up for a different cocktail, Mr. Siegal asked for his drink to be made with that instead of sugar. The winning result, silkier and richer in flavor than the average whiskey sour, was soon served to customers.

Yield 1 drink, plus additional honey syrup

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ounces honey
1 ounce warm water
Ice
2 ounces bourbon
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce honey syrup

Steps:

  • Make the honey syrup: In a sealed container, combine the honey and warm water; shake until combined. (Honey syrup makes 1/2 cup, and will keep, covered, at room temperature, for up to 1 week.)
  • Prepare the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the bourbon, lemon juice and 3/4 ounce honey syrup; shake until chilled, about 15 seconds.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in a recipe to your own taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Don't Overcook: Overcooked food is tough and dry. Cook meats, vegetables, and grains until they are just done.
  • Garnish Your Dishes: A simple garnish can make a dish look and taste more appealing. Try using fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
