Highland Sour
Sours are often a great and versatile cocktail style taking the essence of the Spirit of choice with a fresh, tart, and semi-sweet citrus mix. We love Rum, Whisky, and Pisco sours and greatly enjoy tweaking the standards.
Our Highland Sour utilizes quality Scotch Whisky with the sweet, heather-laced liqueur, Drambuie. You can make many variations by choosing different styles of Whisky to use in this cocktail. A smoky, peat influenced Islay Whisky creates a Highland Sour that is much different than a rich, sweet Speyside Whisky.
It's a fun experiment and it greatly demonstrates that great Spirits make great cocktails.
Method
Add the three ingredients to a cocktail shaker along with a handful of ice. Shake vigorously to obtain the perfect mix and healthy foam. Keep the garnish simple. A citrus twist is all that is needed.
