Gold Rush

We always try to stay focused on the mission of this blog : Easy to make cocktails, that you can make at home. If you already enjoy a refreshing Gin & Tonic now and then, you can also mix up these easy cocktails. It’s just ‘the next step’. For this purpose I often ‘simplify’ recipes I discover online or in old cocktail books. 

This ‘Gold Rush’ is a very tasty variation on the Whisky Sour. The recipe below is also slightly simplified, but I can promise it’s delicious. The honey always hits you in the aftertaste and the grapefruit bitters give it another direction compared to the original Whisky Sour. 

Are bitters hard to find? You can get them at most liqueur stores or order them online.
