Smoky Nail

2 oz Islay Scotch, Laphroaig 10
1 oz Drambuie
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Lemon
Instructions

Build in a rocks glass with a few ice cubes and stir gently.

History

Because Drambuie couples pretty nicely with blended Scotch, I thought why not try it with smoky Laphroaig. Surely I’m not the first person ever to think of this, but maybe I’m the first to add lemon bitters for balance.

Curated this - I know it's not easy, but we try to avoid "top with" amounts of ingredients due to different sized glassware. I'm assuming that 4 oz of birch beer would almost fill an ice-filled Collins that had 2 3/4 oz in it.

How exactly do you make ghost pepper syrup. Done incorrectly this could be a dangerous concoction...

Ghost Pepper Syrup

WEARING GLOVES, coarsely chop 1/4 oz. dried ghost peppers. Add them to 2L of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.* Strain the peppers out and measure how much water you have. Add an equal amount of white sugar and stir until dissolved. Bottle. Remove gloves.

*You'll want to open the windows, turn on a fan, and leave the room.

1 oz Strega
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 ? Ginger beer

  • I missed the stop of floating the Yellow Char. and shook it. Good, but that would have probably been better. I floated a little on it, nice. I used a jalapeno-infused blanco.
