Brown Derby

Prepare the Base

1. Chill your coupe glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you build the cocktail.
2. Add 60ml bourbon, 30ml fresh grapefruit juice, and 15ml runny honey directly into a cocktail shaker.
3. Stir briefly with a spoon to ensure the honey dissolves into the juice and spirit before adding ice.

Shake and Serve

1. Fill the shaker generously with ice cubes.
2. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for about 10 to 12 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.
3. Strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass, using a fine-mesh sieve if you want a crystal-smooth texture.
4. Express the oils from a strip of grapefruit peel over the drink and drape it across the rim.
