Herbal Haze Highland

Served in an Old-Fashioned glass, the Herbal Haze Highland combines the smoky depth of Laphroaig with the complex bitterness of amaro and the herbal notes from rosemary. The addition of a touch of honey softens the edges, while Angostura bitters add an extra layer of aromatic complexity. The drink aims to have a smoky, herbal, and pleasantly bitter profile. Ingredients: - 2 oz Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 1 oz Amaro Montenegro - 1/2 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and water) - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Fresh ice cubes - Rosemary sprig for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the Laphroaig, Amaro Montenegro, honey syrup, and Angostura bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the ingredients together until well chilled. 3. Place a large ice cube in an Old-Fashioned glass. 4. Strain the mixture over the ice cube in the prepared glass. 5. Lightly smack the rosemary sprig against your hand to release its aroma and oils, and place it as a garnish in the glass. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the interplay of herbal, bitter, and smoky flavors.
