Black Scott

2 oz Scotch, Auchentoshan 3 Wood
1 1⁄4 oz Root liqueur, Art in the Age
1⁄2 bsp Grade A dark color and robust taste maple syrup
2 ds Blackstrap Bitters (full dropper)
1 oz Club soda
1 spg Cinnamon stick
Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, add the scotch, root, maple syrup and bitters. Dry shake until well mixed; add ice and shake until chilled, strain and pour into a low ball glass with a king cube. Top off with club soda, and garnish with a cinnamon stick to complete

Notes

There is a considerable amount of spice and sweetness in the nose and finish of this drink, but it still has a smoky body that enhances the wonderful flavor of the Three Wood

History

This is my 2013 cocktail design for the Auchentoshan "The Switch" competition. I framed it around an original cocktail I had done called the Black Rye; I was looking to showcase the sweet woody flavor the scotch has against some spicier and complimentary sweet notes

  • try it
  • Used Babancourt 8 - Everything a straight up cocktail should be: pure flavor of the base spirit with a bit of sweet (no sugar) to mellow it and a kick of bitter at the finish. — ★★★★

Plantation Fever

1 1⁄8 oz Nicaraguan Rum, Flor de Caña Gold 4
7⁄8 oz Chocolate spirit, Mozart
1 oz Lime juice
7⁄8 oz Simple syrup (Spiced Chipotle -see notes)
Instructions

Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled martini coupe. Garnish with a dried lime slice.

Notes

For the Spiced Chipotle Syrup, gently boil 250ml water in a pan. --- Slice 2 dried Chipotle chillies and remove most of their seeds (the more you leave, the hotter the syrup will be). --- Take the water off the heat and soak the chillies in it for 12 minutes. --- Remove and discard the chillies, then fine strain the water into another saucepan. --- Add 200g caster sugar and 0.1g sea salt, heating gently until both have dissolved. --- Add 3.5ml (approx. 3 dashes) Angostura Bitters, stir and then remove from the heat. --- Allow to cool before bottling. Store in the fridge.

Summer Sunset Cooler

2 oz Citrus vodka, Absolut
2 oz Passion fruit syrup (Recipe in Notes)
2 oz Cranberry juice
3 oz Ginger ale (Fill)
Instructions

Build in a highball. Fill with ice. Add equal parts vodka, passionfruit syrup, and cranberry juice over . Mix well. Fill with ginger ale. Stir lightly. Garnish with a couple small basil leaves.

Notes

Might work well with some muddled basil. For Passionfruit syrup, make 18 oz 1:1 simple syrup. Add 1 cup thawed frozen Passionfruit pulp (Maracuya in Hispanic markets) and 1/2 tsp citric acid. Bottle by the fifth with 2 oz vodka for stability.

History

Finally found a good source off passionfruit pulp. This is the second thing I thought to do with it.

  • Very gin forward drink. Would try it with a different gin than Tanqueray - maybe Tanqueray Malacca as the gin is very strong. Not horrible, but not my favorite.
  • Added half a dropper of absinthe. A little flat otherwise. Less vermouth round 2.
