A Golden weekend
Another week is coming to an end and it's time for yet another #CocktailFriday!
Today is a special Friday because the team behind one of Hive's biggest communities, LeoFinance, just released the Kingdoms, which is a new feature on their DeFi platform, CubFinance. This is a very exciting thing that can really bring significant future gains to those who are investing there.
Because of the golden opportunity that the Kingdoms and CubFinance represent, this week's cocktail is the Gold Rush!
The Gold Rush is very similar to a Whiskey Sour, but instead of sugar, we will be using honey for this one. It may sound like a small change on paper, but the Gold Rush is a very unique drink. This simple ingredient change not only gives it this gorgeous golden coloration but also a very full body and a peculiar flavor and mouthfeel.
Ok, now that you're all introduced, let's get down to business! Here's what you are gonna need to make this one:
Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 1 ounce honey syrup
- 3/4 ounces lemon juice
Note: you don't need a fancy bourbon for this. Any 8 year or even 4 year will do the trick.
Instructions
This is a very straightforward drink. Just add the bourbon, honey syrup and lemon juice to a shaker with ice and give it a good shake.
Because of the honey, you might need to shake it a little harder and a little longer than you usually would. Nothing crazy though.
Once you are done shaking, just strain it to a short glass with ice. If you want, you can garnish with a lemon peel but you are pretty much done!
Pretty easy, eh? Cheers!
I hope you all enjoy your weekend but before we wrap this up I just want to thank everyone for your comments and ideas. I already have a few requests for future cocktails and other things that I can share here. Keep them coming because I plan to bring a new cocktail every week!
