Recipe: The Gentleman Farmer

We had our friend and mixologist extraordinaire Chris develop a cocktail inspired by our love for all things local and farm fresh. Give it a go and let us know what you think! 

INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz Iron Smoke Single Barrel Straight Bourbon

0.5 oz Ginger Liqueur (we like Stirrings)

0.75 oz Honey-Thyme Syrup (recipe below)

1/4 oz lemon juice

Optional: 5 dashes King Floyd's Scorched Pear and Ginger Bitters

METHOD

Mix all ingredients into a shaker, and shake with ice until well chilled. Fine strain over our Whiskey Stones in a rocks glass.

GARNISH

Fresh thyme and a lemon twist.

HONEY THYME SYRUP

1 cup honey

1 cup water

10 fresh thyme sprigs

Bring water to a boil, and immediately add honey and thyme.

Stir until honey mixes with water. Reduce heat and steep for 20 mins stirring often. Strain out herbs, and fix your drink!
