Inspired by the whisky bars of New York and named after the great gold rushes of history, the Gold Rush is a beautifully balanced cocktail that's deceptively simple. Honey syrup softens the edges of Herrick Creek Corn Whisky while fresh lemon juice adds brightness and lift.
The result is smooth, refreshing, and incredibly easy to drink. If you enjoy a Whisky Sour but want something with a little more richness, the Gold Rush is well worth discovering.
