Chapel Hill

If you’re looking for something that’s both southern and sophisticated – the sort of drink that might once have been served in a gentleman’s club down south – the Chapel Hill cocktail might be just what you’re looking for.

This drink simply blends a little bit of Triple Sec and a touch of lemon juice with bourbon – it’s so easy, and so tasty. It’s one of those drinks that are safe to serve to just about anyone who isn’t allergic to citrus, because the flavor is so easygoing.

Recipe

• 1 1/2 ounce bourbon
• 1/2 ounce triple sec
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in all the and shake well. Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel.
