Speyside Old Fashioned
With the sun coming out, I thought it was time for a series of Single Malt Cocktails.
Number three in this series: Speyside Old Fashioned
Instead of using bourbon or rye, I'm using a very sweet Speyside whisky!
Ingredients:
6 cl of a single malt whisky, in this case: Benriach Original 10
2 cl Sugar syrup (Monin pure sugar cane)
2 big dashes of Angostura bitters
A big block (in my case ball) of ice
A very nice orange
Tools:
Extra glass
Cocktail stirrer
Instructions:
Put the sugar syrup in a clean glass
Add the Angostura bitters
Stirr untill you get an even mix in color
Add whisky, give a short stirr
Use some orange peel to coat the rim of a new glass
Place the block of ice with some orange peal in that glass
(Twist the peel before placing it there)
Pour the mix from the mixing glass, over the ice in the second
Enjoy!
My result
I like a good Old Fashioned. I truly do. Using a sweet en fruity Speyside whisky makes it even more perfect for a summer cocktail!
The bitters add to the fruitiness in a weird way, giving it a more tropical vibe then a normal Old Fashioned.
I think you should try it!
