Instructions

The Highland Harmony cocktail is a nod to the classic Bobby Burns with an innovative twist, combining the peaty depth of Scotch whisky with homemade spiced honey Shaoxing wine and a rich plum wine Vermouth, rounded out with touches of sorghum liquor for a unique, full-bodied sipping experience. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Scotch whisky (preferably a single malt with a balance of smoke and sweetness) - 1 oz homemade spiced honey Shaoxing wine (recipe below) - 1 oz homemade plum wine Vermouth (recipe below) - 1/2 oz sorghum liquor - Garnish: Lemon peel (for aromatic purposes, no juice) and a single star anise **Homemade Spiced Honey Shaoxing Wine:** - 500 ml Shaoxing wine - 1 cup honey - 2 cinnamon sticks - 5 cloves - 1 star anise - 1 small piece of ginger, sliced **Method for Spiced Honey Shaoxing Wine:** 1. Combine honey and spices in a saucepan over medium heat. 2. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the honey. 3. Remove from heat and let it cool. 4. Once cool, mix the spiced honey with the Shaoxing wine. 5. Let the mixture sit for 24 hours for flavors to meld, then strain out the spices and bottle the wine for use. **Homemade Plum Wine Vermouth:** - 750 ml homemade or store-bought plum wine (dry, not sweet) - 1/4 cup dried wormwood - 1/2 cup assorted dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and lavender) **Method for Plum Wine Vermouth:** 1. Combine dried wormwood and herbs with plum wine in a large jar. 2. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking it occasionally. 3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, and store the Vermouth in a bottle. **Cocktail Preparation:** 1. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the Scotch whisky, spiced honey Shaoxing wine, plum wine Vermouth, and sorghum liquor. 2. Stir well until the mixture is chilled and properly diluted, usually around 20 seconds. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 4. Express the lemon peel over the drink by twisting it to release the oils, then rub it around the rim of the glass. Discard the peel after use. 5. Drop a single star anise into the glass as a garnish. The result is a Highland Harmony cocktail; a complex, smoky, and sweet drink with herbal undertones and a hint of spice that warms the palate, perfect for a
