Makes 1 drink
This drink makes me think of big, burly men sitting around a campfire. Instead of telling scary stories, they are, for some reason, talking about their hopes and dreams, and manifesting peace and love. Now, wouldn’t that be a sight?!
In all seriousness, this drink has the perfect balance of acidity, smokiness, and sweetness. It’ll “put some hair on your chest” without making you cringe as though you’re getting it waxed. This intro isn’t getting any better… what I am saying is, make this drink if you want to feel imaginative and adventurous!
2 ounces smoky bourbon, such as Ole Smoky Straight Bourbon
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 ounce agave syrup
1 Amarena cherry, for garnish
Lemon twist, for garnish
In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and agave and shake until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a cherry and lemon twist.
