Smoke & Amber

AI-generatedEasyRocks

The moody, slow-burning handshake between a Scottish peat bog and a Sicilian almond grove.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz scotch whisky
  • 3/4 oz amaretto
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup

Method

  1. 11. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass or the base of your shaker.
  2. 22. Add a large handful of ice and stir steadily for 30 seconds — do not shake, as clarity and texture depend on it.
  3. 33. Strain over a single large ice cube placed in a rocks glass.
  4. 44. Allow the drink to rest for 20 seconds before serving so the ice begins to temper the spirit.

PRO TIP

Use a peated or lightly smoky Scotch — the amaretto bridges smoke beautifully but will overwhelm a delicate Highland malt, so a blended or Islay-adjacent bottle works best here.

Garnish — expressed lemon peel, then discard
