Normally when I sip on blended whisky it is in an Irish Coffee. While purists argue that an Irish Coffee should include either Powers or Jameson whiskey, I prefer honey-blended sauces like Celtic Crossing and Drambuie, because you needn’t add sugar.
Last week at a Drambuie party at Level V, I was introduced to a delicious blended whisky cocktail, the Drambuie Fizz. This concoction is a bit like a mojito but has the smokiness from the scotch whisky and derives its sweetness from the honey rather than sugar or simple syrup.
Here’s the recipe from the bartender:
Muddle 5 lime wedges in a rocks glass, then fill with crushed ice. Add a shot and a half of Drambuie and top up with a splash of club soda.
The party was to announce the Drambuie Pursuit contest that is open to us across the pond for the first time. Think of it as a two-day Amazing Race through the Scottish Highlands with sweet, sweet Drambuie at the finish line. Kind of like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey for us whisky drinkers, no?
