This Strawberry-bourbon Cocktail Has A Secret Ingredient That Balances It All
  1. For the Strawberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon rind. Cover and let stand, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour at room temperature.

  2. Once the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries have released their liquid, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the berries are tender, about 3 minutes.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked strawberries to a pint jar. Continue simmering the syrup until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 2 minutes. Discard lemon peel and pour syrup over berries. Let cool to room temperature, then store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

  4. To Make One Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, thoroughly muddle 4 hulled strawberries with the lemon. Add the strawberry syrup, balsamic, and bourbon, then fill shaker with ice and close shaker.

  5. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Using both a cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer, strain the cocktail into a glass. Garnish with a strawberry.
