Two coupes each with a Oregon Gold Rush cocktail on a yellow tray with a bottle of Meyer Lemon syrup

Oregon Gold Rush

Our take on the classic Gold Rush. Meyer Lemon Syrup does double duty as the acid and the sugar; a little extra fresh lemon keeps it bright; aromatic bitters bring the spice and balance.
