Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place an old-fashioned glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to slightly chill the glass.

2

Measure and pour

Add 2 oz The Dalmore 12 Year Old (Sherry Cask Finish) and 1 oz Peach Leaf Amaretto into a mixing glass or shaker filled with plenty of ice.

3

Add bitters and sweetener

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. If you prefer a touch more sweetness or to balance stronger spirits, add 1/4 teaspoon of simple syrup (optional).

4

Stir

Stir the mixture briskly with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full spoon rotations) until well chilled and slightly diluted. If you used a shaker, stirring is preferable for spirit-forward cocktails, but you may briefly shake (5–7 seconds) if no mixing glass is available.

5

Prepare glass

Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and add a large ice cube (or several fresh ice cubes).

6

Strain

Double-strain or fine-strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared old-fashioned glass over the large ice cube.

7

Garnish and finish

Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel over the glass with the outer skin facing down and giving it a firm squeeze to release the oils. Rub the peel around the rim if desired, then drop it into the drink as garnish.

8

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the sherry cask, almond-peach amaretto notes, and bitters integration.
