In partnership with our sister company of Bean and Barrel, we extended our menu to include cocktails, while we don't want to reveal all our secrets we are willing to share 2 cocktail recipes we use in store along with some descriptions of ones we can provide in store.
Old Fashioned
Glass Selection is important in cocktail making - use a whisky tumbler for the old fashioned.
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons of sugar syrup
- 1-2 dashes of bitters
- Splash of water
- 60ml Single malt scotch/ bourbon ( we recommend something from the speyside region and primarily bourbon cask finished)
- Soda Water (optional)
- Orange Slice
- Marascino Cherry
Creation :
Take your whisky tumbler and add the sugar, bitters and water, then mix well until the sugar dissolves (if using granulated). Add ice and pour whisky and stir again, then garish with the cherry and orange slice. Optionally add Soda water if prefer a mixed scotch. Then you can sit back and enjoy a the Old Fashioned.
