The Irish Bartender · Seamus O'Callaghan
Gold Rush
A citrusy and sweet sour built around whiskey, with the classic proportions and service that make the Gold Rush endure.
“There's enough going on in a Gold Rush without showing off. Make it cold and leave it be.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Gold Rush works because bourbon, lemon juice, honey syrup meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
