Gold Rush
Cocktail Recipe

Bright
Citrus
Balanced

The Gold Rush is a modern classic cocktail that keeps things simple while delivering bright, balanced flavour. Made with bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup, it’s often seen as a contemporary twist on the Whiskey Sour. The honey adds a smooth sweetness that pairs neatly with the citrus and the depth of the bourbon, creating a straightforward cocktail that’s easy to mix and consistently enjoyable.
