This is a twist on a whiskey sour variation called the Gold Rush, traditionally a simple concoction of bourbon, honey, and fresh lemon juice. Here, we retain the simple formula of three ingredients but replace the honey with a ginger liqueur called Domaine de Canton. This substitution does more than just increase the alcohol content; it also adds a bright, spicy note that plays well with the oaky bourbon. A brandied cherry ties the whole cocktail together (try making your own at home using our Brandied Cherries recipe).
Yield: Makes 1 cocktail Time: 5 minutes 1 brandied cherry 1½ oz. ginger liqueur, such as Domaine de Canton 1 oz. bourbon ½ oz. fresh lemon juice Instructions To a coupe or martini glass, add the brandied cherry. To a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, add the ginger liqueur, bourbon, and lemon juice, and shake vigorously until chilled. Strain over the cherry into the glass.
