Smokey Scotch Sour

With the sun coming out, I thought it was time for a series of Single Malt Cocktails.

Number two in this series: Smokey Scotch Sour.

This is a play on the "Whiskey Sour", but instead of bourbon, I'm using a very peated Scotch Single malt!

Ingredients:

• 6 cl of a single malt whisky, in this case: Mr Peat

• 2,5 cl (fresh) lemon juice.

• 2 cl Sugar syrup (Monin pure sugar cane)

• 1,5 cl Eggwhite (I used a fresh egg. If you are scared of that, use pasteurized egg whites.

• Crushed Ice in a glass

• Optional: Garnish (a slice of orange)

Tools:

• cocktail shaker

Instructions:

• Put ice in the cocktail shaker

• Add the whisky

• Add the lemon juice

• Add the sugar syrup

• Add the eggwhite

• Shake with the ice, strain, shake again without ice.

• Pour in a glass filled with ice

• Add garnish

Enjoy!

My result

Oh this smoke adds a whole lot of flavor to this fresh cocktail!
Of course you can try it with a non-peated whisky, my advice would be to add something contrasting to it. Like bitters.
This cocktail goes great with a summer BBQ, a lobster salad or any other great summer dinner you can imagine.
