Method

Ice

Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker.

Pour

Using a jigger, measure 25ml Bourbon, 12.5ml lemon juice and 2 tbsp sugar syrup into the shaker.

Mix

Shake the mixture until the surface of the cocktail shaker feels chilled. Strain with a cocktail strainer into a Tankard over ice cubes. Add Pale Ale to the drink until it reaches the top of the glass.

Garnish

Place a sprig of mint on top of the drink to garnish.

Step 5

Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
