Highland Orchard Fizz
AI-generatedEasyHighball
A misty Scottish meadow distilled into a glass — smoky, crisp, and alive with green sweetness.
Ingredients
- ◆1 1/2 oz scotch whisky
- ◆2 oz apple juice
- ◆3/4 oz lemon juice
- ◆1/2 oz honey syrup
- ◆2 oz sparkling water
- ◆6 leaves mint
Method
- 11. Muddle mint leaves gently in the base of a shaker — press just enough to release the oils without tearing.
- 22. Add scotch whisky, apple juice, lemon juice, and honey syrup to the shaker with a generous scoop of ice.
- 33. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is ice-cold.
- 44. Double-strain into a chilled highball glass over fresh ice to remove mint fragments.
- 55. Top slowly with sparkling water, pouring down the side of the glass to preserve the fizz.
- 66. Stir once gently from the bottom with a bar spoon to integrate.
PRO TIP
Use a lightly peated scotch like Monkey Shoulder — heavy peat will overwhelm the delicate apple; you want smoke as a whisper, not a shout.
Garnish — fresh mint sprig and a thin apple fan
