Brown Derby Instructions
The Brown Derby is a classic cocktail that originated in Los Angeles in the 1930s. It was named after the famous Brown Derby restaurant, which was shaped like a derby hat. This cocktail is a perfect blend of bourbon, honey syrup, and grapefruit juice, creating a refreshing and tangy flavor.
To make a Brown Derby cocktail, start by pouring 2 ounces of bourbon into a shaker filled with ice. Then, add 1 ounce of fresh grapefruit juice and 1/2 ounce of honey syrup. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure all the flavors are well combined.
Next, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. You can use a coupe glass or an old-fashioned glass, depending on your preference. Garnish the drink with a grapefruit twist or wedge to add a touch of citrus aroma.
The Brown Derby is a versatile cocktail that can be enjoyed year-round. It's perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening or as a cozy winter drink. The combination of bourbon, honey, and grapefruit creates a unique and balanced flavor profile that appeals to a wide range of palates.
Whether you're hosting a cocktail party or simply want to enjoy a delicious drink at home, the Brown Derby is a fantastic choice. Its simplicity and elegance make it a timeless classic that never fails to impress.
Best served in a Old-Fashioned Glass.
