Instructions

Description: The Emerald Southern Whisper is a sophisticated, bourbon-based cocktail that balances the rich sweetness of demerara sugar with fresh herbaceous notes. It's perfect for a calm evening or as a refined signature drink at an elegant gathering. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon whiskey - 1/2 oz Demerara syrup (2:1 ratio demerara sugar to water) - 3-4 Fresh basil leaves - 2 dashes Orange bitters - Sparkling water to top - Green Chartreuse for a rinse - Garnish: Lemon peel and a basil leaf Instructions: 1. Begin by making the Demerara syrup. Combine two parts demerara sugar with one part water in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow it to cool before using. 2. In a mixing glass, gently muddle the fresh basil leaves with the Demerara syrup to release the oils. 3. Add the bourbon and orange bitters to the glass. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the ingredients well for about 30 seconds or until properly chilled. 5. Rinse a chilled old-fashioned glass with a small amount of Green Chartreuse, swirling it around to coat the inside of the glass, and discard the excess. 6. Strain the mixture into the prepared old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube. 7. Top with a splash of sparkling water. 8. Express the lemon peel over the drink by twisting it to release the oils, and then use it along with a fresh basil leaf to garnish the cocktail. Glass: Serve in an old-fashioned glass, with the Green Chartreuse rinse providing a distinctive, aromatic edge that complements the bourbon and demerara beautifully.
