Cut Above Fools Gold

Cut Above Fools Gold made easy for the Cooler Keg. Batch it, chill it, pour it. Perfect for Aussie barbies and long weekends.

Ingredients

  • 2960 ml Cut Above Zero Proof Whiskey
  • 1180 ml Lemon juice
  • 1180 ml Honey Simple Syrup
  • 1060 ml Water (to account for water dilution from stirring over ice)
  • Lemon peels and rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. If making your own honey simple syrup, combine equal parts of honey and water in pot on stove and mix until completely dissolved (approx 5 min). Let cool.
  2. Strain all ingredients in a keg, stir, close the lid (no need to pressurise the keg)
  3. Chill keg in fridge overnight and freeze ice packs
  4. When ready to serve, put ice packs and kegs in the Cooler Keg and set pressure to 5psi
  5. Serve neat or in an up glass with a garnish of lemon peel and sprig of rosemary (torched if you want a touch of smokey flavor)
  6. Pro tip: if using fresh ingredients, swirl / invert keg a few times before putting keg in your Cooler Keg as ingredients may settle
