Recipes Drinks Recipes Cocktail Recipes Bourbon Drinks Recipes Gold Rush Be the first to rate & review! 1 Photo A Gold Rush cocktail is a riff on a whiskey sour using honey syrup instead of simple syrup. The honey syrup is commonly made with a 1:1 ratio of honey to water, but I find that a 2:1 ratio helps to better balance out the lemon juice and bourbon. This makes enough syrup for 4 cocktails. Serve over a large ice sphere.
