29 Mar 2023: The Buster Brown Cocktail

As a bourbon sour, this one appealed to me. The original recipe I followed called for - in my opinion - too much lemon juice. Next time around, I’ll even out the proportion of lemon to simple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz Bourbon (I used Buffalo Trace)

• 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice (see headnote - this seemed like a lot)

• 1/4 oz. simple syrup

• 2 dashes Orange bitters

Put all in a shaker, add ice and shake for about 15 seconds. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass - no garnish needed.
