Buster Brown
- 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- Splash of simple syrup
- Lemon twist for garnish
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake until cold and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
Like the Mark Twain cocktail, I think this one could use a slightly increased amount of whiskey. Maybe it’s just me though; while I think both of these are a bit too lemony, Sarai thinks they’re fine the way they are.
This one is for Kevin, who I mentioned it to the other day, and for Lauren, who’s looking for more good bourbon cocktails.

Sounds delicious! This definitely would not be too lemony for me. One of my standard after work drinks that I make myself at home is about 2 ounces of bourbon, about an ounce (or a little less) of lemon juice and a dash of sugar. This is like the fancy version! I’m going to have to get some fancier ingredients for these recipes. :)
