Method

Cocktail

1

Make honey syrup

Combine equal parts honey and warm water (for this recipe about 1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup warm water). Stir until fully combined and let cool. Measure out 0.5 oz for the cocktail.

2

Add 2 oz Dewar's blended Scotch, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, 0.25 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

3

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup or enough to nearly fill). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.

4

Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer (or the shaker's strainer) into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. If serving on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with fresh ice and strain over the ice.

Garnish

5

Express the oils from the lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a quick pinch, then run the peel around the rim if desired and drop it into the drink. Optionally add an orange twist alongside the lemon for added citrus aroma.
