The Almond Field Goal cocktail is a bourbon sour that took a smooth left turn. Built on the familiar balance of whiskey and citrus, it swaps traditional sugar for orgeat, bringing a rich almond depth that instantly softens the drink and rounds out the edges.

Bulleit Bourbon provides structure and spice, while lemon juice keeps everything bright and focused. The orgeat does the heavy lifting, adding body, subtle sweetness, and a silky texture that makes the drink feel polished without feeling heavy. Served up in a coupe, Almond Field Goal looks refined but still fits right in on a game-day spread. It’s approachable, slightly indulgent, and designed for slow, confident sipping between plays.

Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking emulsifies the orgeat and lemon, giving the drink its smooth, opaque texture.
