The Derby, otherwise known as the sour-style Derby, was first published in the Bartender’s Guide in 1947, but nothing much else is known about the cocktail.

Other than it’s delicious of course.

This combines lime and orange flavours, which are blended perfectly with Bourbon and Vermouth to produce something magical.

You have to try this one.

Ingredients

  • Bourbon – 30ml / 1oz.
  • Sweet Vermouth – 15ml / .5oz.
  • Triple Sec – 15ml / .5oz.
  • Lime Juice – 20ml / .75oz.
  • A Lime Wedge to Garnish.
