We tried out a delicious small batch bourbon for this recipe. It’s called Black Maple Hill. An authentic Kentucky Bourbon, this baby has tasting notes of “vanilla, caramel, spice and nectarine. Very smooth without being cloying or flat.” Thanks to the reviewers here for those notes; my palate loves this bourbon but comes up short with the adjectives. I’d make a terrible perfumier!
Another thing to love about this cocktail is it’s simplicity. Three ingredients, a citrus twist if you want to be fancy, and serve.
Ginger Gold Rush
Combine all three ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well, then strain into a martini glass. Serve with a citrus twist if desired.
- 1.5 ounces Bourbon
- 1.5 ounces Ginger Liqueur (we used Canton)
- .5 ounces fresh lemon juice
Yum! I will definitely be trying this! A friend gave us some ginger liqueur months ago, and we haven't been sure how to use it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh good! I hope you like it. I love this as a way to use Ginger Liqueur because it is not overly sweet; the bourbon and lemon balance it out perfectly!
DeleteI love the spicy flavor of ginger, but I've never had ginger liqueur before. I need to go look for that--this sounds like a lovely fall cocktail!
ReplyDeleteWe are big bourbon fans, so this is right up our alley. We'll be on the look out for this bourbon!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing. I love ginger and bourbon. I bet they're terrific together. Can't wait to try it! :)
