Ingredients:

• 2.5 oz Wight’s Old Reserve Bourbon
• 1 oz blue agave simple syrup (see below)
• 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

How to craft:

1. Pour Wight's Old Reserve Bourbon into an empty cocktail shaker (don't add ice just yet).
2. Add lemon juice.
3. Add agave simple syrup.
4. Stir or shake well to thoroughly dissolve the syrup.
5. Add ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
6. Pour into cocktail glass over ice.
7. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Agave simple syrup:

1. Mix 1 part blue agave nectar with 2 parts room temperature water.
2. Shake well.

Tips:

• Do not use agave syrup that requires refrigeration. It may be too thick to easily dissolve.
• Instead of making the syrup separately, just add 1/3 oz blue agave nectar and 2/3 oz water.
