CRUSADER Cocktail Winner – Junkbond Tribute Drink

Honey Syrup Recipe:

• 1 cup of your “local” honey
• 1⁄3 cup hot water

Cocktail Recipe:

• 3⁄4 oz. fresh lemon juice
• 3⁄4 oz. honey syrup
• 2 oz. of your favorite bourbon (​I suggest Louisville’s own “Angels Envy”)First make the honey syrup.

Combine honey and hot water and stir until completely mixed.  In a metal shaker, combine lemon juice, honey syrup, and bourbon.  Shake vigorously and strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube.  Float 1 oz of your favorite Islay Scotch on top.  (I hope it’s LAPHROAIG)  Garnish with a Rosemary sprig and candied ginger if that’s your preference.
