Scroll back if you want the history of the cocktail. There are mixed opinions on how much bourbon to use – 2 oz. as shown here, or 1.5 oz. See the Farandaville recipe and opinion below the video.
Farandaville Recipe
We've had it with 2 oz and 1.5 oz of bourbon and prefer the 2 oz – otherwise the honey is to much.
So –
2 oz. Jim Beam bourbon
1 oz. grapefruit juice – Tropicana 100% grapefruit juice
.5 oz. honey syrup – we got "DaVinci Gourmet" through amazon. Don't use pure honey – it doesn't mix well. You can make your own honey syrup with a 1:1 ratio of honey and water.
Put it all in a shaker and give 20-25 seconds of shake.
It is an interesting and balanced cocktail.
Wonder how this would work with pink grapefruit juice.
We used ruby red – is that different from pink?
