After the Goldrush

After the Goldrush

Rich and mellow with a citrusy twist, the After the Goldrush is a modern bourbon cocktail that strikes gold in every sip. Blending the warmth of whiskey with sweet honey, sharp lemon juice, and the bright sparkle of Double Dutch Double Lemon, this drink is smooth, slightly tart, and perfectly balanced. It’s comforting but not heavy — ideal for sipping as the sun sets or as a standout serve at cocktail hour.

Why We Love After the Goldrush

There’s something timeless about the After the Goldrush. It leans into classic whiskey cocktail territory — but the twist of Double Dutch Double Lemon keeps things lively and fresh. Honey provides just the right amount of smooth sweetness, while lemon juice brings brightness and cuts through the richness of the bourbon. It’s a combination that feels both grounded and refreshing.

This is the kind of cocktail that works for almost any occasion. It’s unfussy, flavourful, and looks beautiful in a rocks glass over plenty of ice, especially with that golden hue and a bright twist of orange peel on top. Simple, smart, and seriously sippable.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve in a classic rocks glass filled with ice for a short, strong serve.
• Garnish with a fresh orange peel twist for aroma and colour.
• Pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, salty snacks, or rich cheeses like aged cheddar.

Top Tips

• Shake your bourbon, honey, and lemon juice with ice before topping — it helps mellow the honey and fully integrate the citrus.
• Use a good-quality bourbon with caramel and vanilla notes to bring out the deeper flavours.
• Twist the orange peel over the glass before dropping it in to release the oils for a more fragrant finish.

The After the Goldrush is a cocktail that blends warmth, brightness, and smoothness into one seriously satisfying glass. It’s a golden-hour kind of drink — subtle, stylish, and always welcome.
