INGREDIENTS:
¾ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 medium ripe strawberries
½ ounce turbinado simple syrup
2 ounces bourbon
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ginger beer
Lemon wheel

METHOD:
Fill a Collins glass with ice and reserve. Put the lemon juice and 1 strawberry into a cocktail shaker and muddle thoroughly. Add ice, simple syrup, bourbon, and bitters and shake vigorously. Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain into the reserved glass and top with ginger beer. Finely slice the remaining strawberry, then use to garnish the cocktail along with the lemon wheel.
