This yummy libation comes from personal fave Food & Wine magazine. They suggest that it citrus qualities make it a great pairing with Latin food. That's certainly plausible, but I think it's the perfect cocktail as we enter autumn. It boasts burnished ingredients and rich flavors. And it looks almost like apple cider. I actually think it would be a perfect pre-dinner drink for Thanksgiving night.(Note: I actually made myself one of these straight-up, straining it into a martini glass. Worked rather well...)
Fields of Gold
Makes one cocktail.
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons warm water
3 orange slices, quartered, plus 1 orange wheel, for garnish
Ice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup bourbon
In a cocktail shaker, stir the honey and water until the honey is dissolved. Add the orange slices and muddle. Fill the shaker with ice and add the lemon juice and bourbon. Shake well and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. (Be patient with the straining. There's lots of orangey bits to get in the way.) Garnish with the orange wheel.
