Author Notes

In this cocktail, a well-balanced bourbon like Basil Hayden® shines, and is complemented by the bittersweet citrus and herbal character from the other ingredients. —Food52

This is a delightfully well-balanced drink and not too strong. I haven't tried Basil Hayden bourbon but I enjoy this recipe with Maker's Mark 46.
