Golden Grapefruit Bourbon
The Golden Grapefruit Bourbon is a refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail that originated in Los Angeles in the 1930s. It's a delightful blend of bourbon, tangy grapefruit juice, and honey syrup, offering a perfect balance of citrus and sweetness. This cocktail is a modern take on the classic Whiskey Sour, and it's named after the iconic Brown Derby restaurant.
