Scotch on the beach? You betcha! Johnnie Walker Blue Label showcases a dizzying blend of whiskies from all corners of Scotland. With that comes a wide breadth of flavors and aromas, including dried fruit, tropical and floral notes. This tropical winter highball highlights the remarkable whisky, speaks to winter-fruit seasonality, and offers a bit of escapism.
Preparation
Combine Blue Label, Rum, Lemon Juice and Golden Spice Syrup in a shaker with crushed ice.
Shake lightly and strain over crushed ice into a highball.
Top with Sidral Soda and garnish with a bouquet of fresh mint.
*Golden Spice Syrup
Ingredients
1 oz tumeric
24 oz simple syrup
Preparation
Blend 1oz Turmeric per 24oz simple syrup.
An elegant and surprising serve with a dramatic garnish. The Sleight of Hand presents as a classic Old Fashioned style cocktail, but reveals itself with the first sip. Dried fruit, bright acidity, and all of the complexity of Johnnie Walker Blue Label make for a perfect marriage. A custom etched, perfect ice block keeps the cocktail at the ideal temperature, while an ethereal citrus aroma drifts down the glass.
Preparation
Combine all ingredients into a batched cocktail ahead of time.
Pour 3 ½ oz into a mixing glass with ice.
Stir to chill and pour over ice into a double Old Fashioned glass.
The perennial favorite, Espresso Martini, takes a trip to Scotland. Once you try this elegant, warming, and complex combination, you may never go back.
