This cocktail is a little bit of an ode to the cold weather blues, a little bit of a cure for what ails you. A mix of bourbon, fresh grapefruit juice, and a homemade honey cardamom syrup (that's not nearly as difficult as you might think). I'm loving it for its balance of sweet, tart, and herbacious.

The Remedy

2 oz bourbon (I used Wild Turkey 101)
1 oz grapefruit juice
3/4 oz honey cardamom syrup*
1 dash Angostura bitters
grapefruit twist garnish

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
