Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds until drink is well chilled.
    1 ½ ounces bourbon, 1 ounce ginger liqueur, ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
  • Strain into a low ball glass filled with ice.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute whiskey for bourbon. 
  • Fresh lemon juice makes a huge difference in the flavor and smoothness of this drink. Avoid the bottled stuff with preservatives. 
  • Shaking this cocktail for at least 20-30 seconds ensures the juice emulsifies with the alcohols and adequately chills the drink. This is especially important if you serve it straight up in a coupe glass instead of over ice. 
  • Recipe from Domaine de Canton.
