More About The Bourbon Sour Honey-Plum Cocktail Recipe
"This drink is perfect for the last days of summer, and the ushering in of a new season," says our Resident Bartender, Elliott Clark. "The base spirit—I chose Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which is light-bodied with a spicy flavor profile—is always the inspiration for any crowd-pleasing cocktail. This specific spirit meshes with many different ingredients, but for a light, late-season cocktail it works well with citrus and other bright fruits." The combination equals a highly sip-able drink just about anyone would enjoy.
Combine all ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, and shake until well combined. Strain into a rocks glass over ice, and garnish with a plum wedge and lemon peel.
In a medium sauce pan, combine 1 cup of water and the sliced plums. Bring to a light simmer until the plums begin to split and release the juice. Add in 2 cups of honey, and gently stir to combine.
Remove from the heat, and allow to cool. Strain out the plum solids and store the syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
