Classic Cocktail: Bourbon Daisy

For @dana88 who wondered what a Bourbon Daisy was.

Last night I made a server a "Sidecar" for her shift drink. Since I used fresh squeezed lemon juice I was left with half a lemon. Not wanting to waste it, I whipped up a Bourbon Daisy. Here is a classic recipe and the one I used last night. Mine is about the same sweetness because of the triple sec.

Bourbon Daisy
2 oz bourbon
1 oz lemon Juice
1/2 tsp grenadine
1/2 tsp Superfine Sugar
Garnish: Orange Slice and Cherry
Shake all but fruit in a cocktail shaker half filled with ice. Strain over ice into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with fruit.

Tiki's Bourbon Daisy
2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz triple sec
juice of 1/2 lemon
powdered sugar
Rim a DOF glass with powdered sugar. Shake ingredients with ice. Strain into the old-fashioned glass (no ice). Drop in a cherry. Sit outside the Golden Lion listening to the waves and checking twitter on your blackberry. Enjoy.


Enjoy the flavor!
