The Klondike Cooler is May 5th Drink of the Day!!
If you are familiar with the cocktail, Presbyterian, this will seem a little familiar. This cocktail is a little different, using some simple syrup to enhance its flavor and a twist of lemon to knock it out of the park. A perfect Drink of the Day to get the week started off on the right foot.
Bourbon is a great mixer in many ways. Its unique flavor in itself is good. However, it is also plays very well with other ingredients as you will find out after tasting this cocktail. Using the lemon twist at the end to give the drink its aroma is what sets this beverage apart from your typical mixer. Enjoy!
Klondike Cooler
2 oz Soda Water
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
1 1/2 oz. Bourbon Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Twist of Lemon
Method: In a highball glass, you build this drink by first pouring in the measured amounts of soda water and simple syrup. Stir together using a stir stick or spoon. Add ice to the glass. Add bourbon to measure, then top off with ginger ale. Take a rind of a lemon and twist it over the cocktail, allowing the oils from the rind to disperse on top of the drink. Rub the twist on the rim of the glass before dropping it into the cocktail.
