A Gold Rush—which is a variation of a Whiskey Bitter—is a simple cocktail, fabricated from bourbon, honey syrup, and lemon juice. Harry Jamison, bar director at Philadelphia’s a.kitchen+bar, gives a summer time twist with additions of peach, tarragon, and cardamom within the Groove Factor, made in collaboration with Marc Scott, one of many bar’s service managers.
He selected a wheated whiskey since these are inclined to have a lighter and sweeter profile that brings out the fruitier excessive notes in a drink like this, he explains. “It helps to emphasise the peach, tarragon, and honey flavors.” However this cocktail isn’t overly candy, due to the Cynar. “It brings up a little bit of bitterness and a dry end that retains these sweeter flavors in test,” he provides.
