Scotch Haze

I have never been a big Scotch drinker, although I certainly appreciate the complexity of flavors.  I feel that it works wonderfully as a cocktail ingredient, adding a smokiness and depth that many traditional cocktails lack.

This following recipe is for 1 cocktail.

Scotch Haze

I have never been a big Scotch drinker, although Icertainly appreciate the complexity of flavors. I feel that it works wonderfully as a cocktail ingredient, adding asmokiness and depth that many traditional cocktails lack.

This following recipe is for 1 cocktail. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz high-quality Scotch
• ¾ oz Sweet Vermouth
• ¾ oz Dry Vermouth
• 1 Tbsp Maraschino cherry juice
• 1 oz Ginger beer
• 1 Maraschino cherry (as garnish)

Instructions 

• Combine the Scotch, Sweet Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, and Maraschino cherry juice in a shaker tin with ice.
• Shake for 10 seconds, or until the ingredients are fully chilled.
• Strain the cocktail into a Martini glass.
• Top with chilled Ginger Beer, and garnish with the Maraschino cherry.

Notes

You can add more ginger beer if you want to make this drink a bit less powerful.
