The Story Behind The Hawaiian Gold Rush
Pineapple adds a tropical twist to the classic Gold Rush cocktail, which is typically made with lemon, bourbon, and honey syrup. The sweet, tangy juice plays beautifully off the grapefruit bitters here, too.

- ½ cup water
Honey Syrup Directions
- Add honey and water to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Let mixture simmer until honey dissolves, stirring occasionally.
- Cool mixture and store, covered, in your refrigerator.
