This one is a twist on a whiskey sour variation called the Gold Rush, a simple concoction of bourbon, honey, and fresh lemon juice. We retained the simple formula of three ingredients, however in this recipe we replaced the honey with a ginger liqueur called Domaine de Canton. This substitution does more than just increase the alcohol content; it also adds an exotic punch without the need for a flavored syrup or bitters, resulting is a bright spicy note that plays well with the oaky bourbon.
While there probably was no ginger liqueur in gold prospectors' camps in 1850's California, there sure was bourbon, so honor the forty-niners and mix up a Gold Rush.

THE GINGER GOLD RUSH - ENJOYED THE ARTICLE VERY MUCH. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE HAD MANY TRADITIONAL WHISKEY SOURS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THIS NEW RECEIPE. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL SURELY PEP US THE OLD WHISKEY SOUR. WE CERTAINLY HOPE TO SEE MORE CREATIVE ARTICLES LIKE THIS.
THANK YOU, GM
