The Gold Rush is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Whiskey Sour, using honey syrup instead of regular simple syrup for a deeper, richer flavor profile. The vanilla and caramel notes of bourbon whiskey meet the natural sweetness of honey, while fresh lemon juice provides a refreshing balance.
True to its name, it features a beautiful golden color, with a smooth, velvety texture that coats the palate for a luxurious drinking experience. With just three ingredients creating such depth of flavor, it has become a favorite for home bartending as well.
History: The Gold Rush was born in the early 2000s at New York's legendary cocktail bar Milk & Honey. Created by bartender T.J. Siegal, this cocktail is a variation of the classic Whiskey Sour and has become one of the representative drinks of the craft cocktail renaissance.
Taste: The first sip delivers honey's smooth, natural sweetness enveloping the palate, followed by bourbon's warm vanilla and oak notes. Lemon's bright acidity cleanly finishes the overall flavor, leaving a sweet yet refreshing aftertaste. Honey's unique floral nuances add depth that sets it apart from regular sour cocktails.
Perfect For: Cool autumn or winter evenings, as a dessert substitute after dinner, or when you love whiskey but find it too strong to drink straight. Pairs wonderfully with cheese plates and nuts.
