Scotch Sour
Made with:
Adelphi DIstillery Maclean's Nose Blended Whisky, Scotland NV
The famous Whiskey Sour is usually made with Bourbon or Irish Whiskey, however, we want to put our own little twist on this classic cocktail and have opted to make a Scotch sour. It's the ideal combination of sweet, sour and smoky all in one... the perfect pour this Christmas!
Ingredients
2 oz Adelphi DIstillery Maclean's Nose Blended Whisky
3/4 oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/2 oz Sugar Syrup
1/2 oz Egg white (pasteurised)
1 Lemon or cherry (garnish)
1 Angostura bitters (garnish)
Recipe
In a shaker combine the Whisky, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white (optional).
Shake well for 30 seconds to thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
Strain back into the other half of the shaker and include the ice.
Shake again for 15-20 seconds, or until well-chilled.
Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over fresh ice, or into a Coupe without ice.
Garnish with a lemon twist, cherry or angostura bitters depending on preference.
Sit back and enjoy!
Margarita
Made with:
Tapatio Reposado Tequila, Mexico NV
This brilliant Tequila Blanco displays striking mineral notes complemented by ripe apple, green pepper, clove, and white pepper spice as well as earthy undertones leading into a gloriously smoky finish. Fabulous in the UK’s favourite cocktail: the Margarita!
