Ingredients
- 45 ml bourbon
- 30 ml fresh grapefruit juice
- 15 ml honey syrup
- Garnish: grapefruit twist
Steps
- Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake.
- Fine-strain into a cocktail glass.
- Express the oil from a grapefruit twist and drop in to garnish (or garnish with a grapefruit wedge).
- *Honey syrup: Add 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan over medium heat. (You can experiment and decide how much of a honey flavor you want in your syrup.
