Smoke & Honey - CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain

The Smoke & Honey cocktail is a creative, smoky twist on the classic Gold Rush cocktail, made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, locally-sourced honey syrup, and lemon juice from the citrus orchard located less than 10 feet away from where the drink is mixed! It's stirred and then served on the rocks, in a glass flavored with smoke from grain wood chips, finished with a lemon peel (held over a flame to release the flavors!).
