Gold Rush
With its sunny, golden hue, this cocktail seems to guarantee a shiny New Year. It’s tart and slightly sweet, and it takes us right back to our childhood lemonade stand — so refreshing.
Our tip: Make it with Bulleit Rye Whiskey. The whiskey’s warm honey and vanilla flavors provide a nice base note to the drink’s brighter tones, adding a little cinnamon and spice along the way.
