LYTHGOE BOURBON

The Unmarked Door

2 oz Lythgoe Bourbon, Pauline’s Victory

0.75 oz fresh lemon juice

0.5 oz simple syrup

0.5 oz fresh orange juice

1 dash Angostura bitters

1 egg white (optional)

Orange twist for garnish

If using egg white, combine all ingredients in a shaker without ice and shake for 15 seconds to emulsify. Add ice and shake again for 10–12 seconds. If skipping the egg white, combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake for 12 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with an expressed orange twist laid across the surface.

Tasting Notes

Bright and citrus-forward with a silky texture. The orange juice softens the lemon and lets the bourbon shine through on the finish.

Serve

Cold, in a chilled coupe glass.

Behind the Drink

A hidden-door classic with a brighter, more inviting side.

The Unmarked Door was created as part of the Bootlegger’s Collection, pairing the bold character of Lythgoe Bourbon with fresh lemon, orange and a touch of bitters. Bright citrus and a silky texture soften the edges, while Pauline’s Victory carries the drink through with a warm, confident finish.
