Brown Derby cocktail in a Coupe Glass

Brown Derby

Whiskey Cocktail Alcoholic

🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass

Bourbon meets pink grapefruit juice and maple syrup here for a tart-sweet balance -- a 1930s Hollywood classic named for the famous derby-shaped restaurant. That maple syrup is an unusual but effective substitute for standard simple syrup, adding a deeper, earthier sweetness. Bright, citrus-forward, and easy-drinking, a great showcase for how well bourbon pairs with grapefruit. Shaken and served up or over ice.
