Gold Hustle

Rich, smooth, and subtly sparkling, the Gold Hustle is a cocktail that means business. This golden-hued drink brings together the bold warmth of bourbon, the natural sweetness of honey, and the lively citrus fizz of Double Dutch Double Lemon — a combination that’s both elegant and easygoing. Whether you're kicking off an evening or winding one down, the Gold Hustle is a confident, comforting serve that always hits the right note.

Why We Love the Gold Hustle

The Gold Hustle is a clever mix of classic and contemporary. Bourbon brings its signature depth — all caramel, oak, and vanilla — while honey syrup softens the edges and adds a mellow sweetness. But what really lifts this cocktail is the Double Dutch Double Lemon. With its crisp citrus top notes and delicate sparkle, it lightens the drink beautifully and turns it into something you’ll want to sip again and again.

This isn’t your average whiskey cocktail. It’s got body, brightness, and just enough bite to keep things interesting. And thanks to its simple build and short ingredient list, it’s a go-to when you want something impressive with minimal effort.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve in a large wine glass or rocks glass filled to the top with ice for a luxurious look and feel.
• Garnish with a slice of lemon or a thin wheel of orange — both add a fragrant, citrusy accent that pairs beautifully with the bourbon.
• Ideal as a pre-dinner drink or late-night sipper — especially when paired with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or charcuterie.

Top Tips

• To make honey syrup: simply mix equal parts honey and hot water until fully combined, then let cool.
• Chill your Double Dutch Double Lemon beforehand for a perfectly cold and refreshing pour.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment — a dash of bitters or a cinnamon stick garnish can turn this into a seasonal special.

The Gold Hustle is the kind of drink that feels just a little bit fancy without being fussy. It’s rich but light, classic yet modern — a cocktail that proves you don’t need a long list of ingredients to create something that shines.
