Instructions

Description: Highland Hive Harmony is a sophisticated and modern twist on the classic Bobby Burns cocktail, embodying a harmony of deep, robust flavors and a comforting, aromatic warmth. This full-bodied cocktail features a well-balanced blend of Scotch whisky and spiced honey Shaoxing wine, complemented by the subtle, earthy notes of sorghum spirit. The spiced honey infusion adds a complex sweetness without veering into sour territory, while the absence of carbonation allows the smooth and rich textures of the spirits to shine through. Ingredients: - 2 oz Scotch whisky (preferably a Speyside or Highland for their fruitier notes) - 3/4 oz homemade spiced honey Shaoxing wine (recipe below) - 1/2 oz sorghum spirit - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Orange peel (for garnish) Homemade Spiced Honey Shaoxing Wine: - 1 cup Shaoxing wine - 1/4 cup honey - 2 cinnamon sticks - 4 whole cloves - 2 star anise - 1 tsp black peppercorns Glassware: Serve in a chilled, stemmed cocktail glass (such as a coupe). Instructions for Homemade Spiced Honey Shaoxing Wine: 1. Combine the Shaoxing wine, honey, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and black peppercorns in a saucepan over low heat. 2. Stir until the honey has fully dissolved into the wine. 3. Gently simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse their flavors. 4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. 5. Strain out the spices and transfer the spiced honey Shaoxing wine into a clean bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Instructions for Cocktail: 1. Chill your cocktail glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for a few minutes. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the Scotch whisky, homemade spiced honey Shaoxing wine, sorghum spirit, and Angostura bitters. 3. Stir thoroughly until well-chilled (about 30 seconds). 4. Discard the ice or water from the chilled cocktail glass. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass. 6. Express the orange peel over the drink to release its oils and place it as a garnish. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, harmonious flavors of the Highland Hive Harmony.
