Golden Ticket

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
1⁄2 oz Amaro Montenegro
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 twst Lemon peel (Or orange peel. As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon (or orange) twist.

Notes

I created it with a lemon twist but orange complements the Monte more.

History

While bartending at Drink, I have had good luck with the Gold Rush variation the Rose Gold, but I wanted something for guests who did not enjoy as much bitterness in their cocktails for all those requests for Bourbon Sours. Therefore, to keep the orange notes, I subbed in Amaro Montenegro for the Campari and have had good luck with it in both the Bourbon and Bee's Knee's riff gin versions (not to mention in egg white Sours). Soon guests wanted a name, so I decided to make this at home. After weighing the various "gold" names, I settled on the Golden Ticket.
