1.5 oz Scotch
1 oz Ginger Syrup
0.5 oz Honey Syrup
0.5 oz Pimm’s
0.5 oz St. Germain
0.5 lemon juice
2 healthy dashes Whiskey Barrel Bitters
Shake ingredients well with ice and pour over a large ice cube. Dash with seltzer (we’re talking like a tablespoon here, don’t drown the thing) and garnish with candied ginger.
07/27/11 NOTES: Kind of took a shot in the dark with some of these ingredients and it really ended well. This one turned out to be damn tasty, if ever-so-slightly too sweet. Making again I might up the scotch to 2 oz and/or cut out the honey syrup totally. The Pimm’s gave it a nice, surprising aftertaste. I’ll be making this one again.
09/11/11 UPDATE: 2 oz Scotch and cutting out the honey did exactly what I hoped it would. I also made a new batch of ginger syrup that turned out a bit spicier than the last, which had a great effect on the drink. Otherwise, unchanged this is a really drinkable one. Winner, in my opinion.
Looks & sounds super yummy! Will have to try..
Where did you purchase the beautiful cocktail glass?
Nearly all of our glassware is secondhand. We’ve found that buying nice glassware usually means you have to buy a case or more, so we usually find glasses like this at thrift stores. There’s usually tons of them! This one in particular came from a place called AIDS Thrift in Philadelphia.
