Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! Invented in the early 2000s in New York City, the Gold Rush quickly became a modern classic. By swapping the traditional simple syrup of a Whiskey Sour with a rich, floral honey syrup, this cocktail gains an incredible depth of flavor and a luxurious, velvety texture.

Recipe Details

• 2 oz Premium Bourbon

• 3/4 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine: In a cocktail shaker, add the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup.
