Many rye-based cocktails are made from old recipes dating back to the years prior to Prohibition. For a modern take on the classic spirit, try this contemporary recipe instead.

Ingredients

4 torn basil leaves
2 ounces rye whiskey
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey syrup (equal parts local honey and water)
2 dashes Baked Apple Bitters
lemon peel twist to garnish

Directions

Place all of the ingredients, except for the lemon twist, into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Vigorously shake the mixture for 35 seconds and then strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish the drink with the lemon zest twist and then serve immediately.
