New cocktail – my take on a Whiskey Sour – Royal & Ancient
A short spirity cocktail with a scotch whisky base, so not for everyone. However if a Whiskey Sour or an Old-Fashioned is your idea of a good time, then this new cocktail is for you. As well as the scotch, we add some Cointreau and a small amount of apricot syrup to add sweetness. Well balanced new cocktail.
Deauville – the Sazerac reformulated
The Deauville is my reworked version of the old classic cocktail the Sazerac. Led by the fact that I’m not keen on the flavour of aniseed, I swapped out the absinthe, and replaced it with Chartreuse. Also I find Yellow Chatreuse works better than green. Tastes better and the colour is better too.
