Gelston’s Gold Rush

Award-winning Belfast-based mixologist Emily Doherty says, “My inspiration
behind this drink was to take the classic ‘gold rush’ cocktail and put a modern
twist on it. Hot honey is something that became very popular this year and there
is a good reason, you get the sweetness and floral notes coming from the honey
with the light spice and black pepper from the chilli. The other ingredients in
this cocktail are the type of ingredients you see in a Margarita but they work
incredibly well with whiskey, the orange juice opens up the sweet notes in the
spirit and the salt rim balances out the sweetness.”
