Gold Rush Cocktail Recipe
The Gold Rush is a modern classic cocktail created in the early 2000s at Milk & Honey in New York City by bartender T.J. Siegal. It is essentially a Whiskey Sour with honey syrup replacing simple syrup, offering a rich, bright, and smoothly sweet balance of bourbon, fresh lemon, and honey. It is a bourbon variation on the Bee's Knees.[[1]](https://www.liquor.com/recipes/gold-rush/)
