Thistle & Smoke

AI-generatedEasyCoupe

A brooding, bittersweet encounter between Scottish peat and Italian twilight that lingers like a cold evening in Edinburgh.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Scotch whisky
  • 3/4 oz Campari
  • 3/4 oz Sweet vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with large ice cubes.
  2. 22. Stir steadily for 30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and properly diluted.
  3. 33. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  4. 44. Express a wide lemon peel over the surface and discard.

PRO TIP

Use a peaty Islay Scotch like Laphroaig for maximum drama, or a lighter Highland malt for a more approachable bitterness.

Garnish — Expressed lemon peel, discarded
