What you need for this Brown Derby Cocktail

MAN'edged Magazine Brown Derby Cocktail Recipe Card

  • 2 oz. Wild Turkey Bourbon
  • 1 oz. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • ¼ oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ oz. honey

Here’s what to do

First, you need to throw all the ingredients into a shaker. 

Second, fill the shake with ice. Crushed or cubed, so if that’s all you have it’ll work.

Next, you need to shake everything together. You want to give it a good shake to blend everything.

Now, it’s time to strain all the goodness out. If you don’t have a strainer (get one), but you can just as easily pour out the liquid while using a spoon to hold the ice from falling out.

Lastly, garnish your drink with a lemon peel. This is what will make your Instagram post-rock.

Cheers,
