Honey Bourbon Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, mint and honey in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the mixture until the ginger and mint leaves break down and become fragrant. Add the lemon juice and bourbon along with some ice and shake to combine.
• Add ice to 2 rocks glasses. Divide the bourbon mixture between the glasses, then top off each glass with sparkling apple cider. Garnish with the apple wedges.

Steps:

• Combine bourbon, lemon juice, and honey in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake very vigorously to help dissolve honey until outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.
• Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into an old-fashioned or rocks glass with 1 large ice cube or several smaller ones.

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat lemon juice to boiling.
• In heat-resistant glass, pour lemon juice, bourbon and honey; stir.
• Garnish with lemon twist.

Steps:

• To make the Honey Árbol Ginger Syrup: Put the honey and water in a blender and stir until the honey dissolves. Add the ginger and chile and blend on high speed until the ginger is pulverized. Strain through a chinois or cheesecloth and discard the solids. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Transfer to a small jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
• To make the cocktail: Combine the cocktail ingredients in a shaker. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, cover, and shake hard for 7 seconds. Use a Hawthorne strainer to strain the cocktail into a coupe glass. Garnish with the chile de árbol slices.

Steps:

• 1. In a small sauce pan, combine lemon juice, honey and thyme. Bring to a boil. Remove thyme, then chill.
• 2. Choose a quality bourbon (NOT a Jack Daniels grade. In my opinion, life is too short for subpar whiskey.)
• 3. Chill two tumblers in the freezer. Divide chilled lemon juice/honey mixture between the two tumblers. Stir in 2 shots (or more?) per tumbler. Serve with a spring of thyme in the glass. Enjoy.
