Wild Honey Sour

Description: The Wild Honey Sour is a sophisticated twist on the classic whiskey sour. It combines the robust character of Bulleit Bourbon with the natural sweetness of honey and the surprising depth of wild botanicals. This cocktail offers a delightful balance of sweet and sour, with an aromatic complexity that makes every sip an exploration. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon - 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice - 3/4 oz wildflower honey syrup (1:1 ratio of honey to hot water) - 1/4 oz green chartreuse - 2 dashes of orange bitters - 1 egg white (optional, for a frothy texture) - Lemon wheel and a sprig of thyme for garnish Instructions: 1.

In a shaker, add the Bulleit Bourbon, lemon juice, wildflower honey syrup, green chartreuse, orange bitters, and egg white (if using). 3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 5. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. 6. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh thyme.
