Instructions

The Highland's Whisper is a sensually provocative concoction, invoking the smoky essence of the Scottish Highlands with a herbaceous Italian twist. This cocktail melds the smoldering notes of aged Scotch with the bittersweet complexity of Amaro, while a hint of thyme introduces a whisper of garden freshness to the affair. It's an alluring and complex drink meant for slow sipping and contemplation. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Peated Scotch Whisky (such as Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig 10) - 0.75 oz Amaro (preferably a variety with robust herbal notes, like Amaro Nonino) - 0.25 oz Fresh lemon juice - 0.25 oz Simple syrup (preferably demerara for depth) - 2 Sprigs of fresh thyme, one for muddling and one for garnish - Orange peel for garnish - Ice Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, gently muddle one sprig of thyme with the simple syrup to release the herb's aromatic oils. 2. Add the Scotch, Amaro, and fresh lemon juice to the muddled thyme mixture. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice, then stir the cocktail until it's well-chilled, for about 20-30 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube to maintain a slow dilution. 5. Twist an orange peel over the drink to express the oils, then run the peel around the rim of the glass before dropping it into the cocktail. 6. Garnish with the second sprig of thyme, offering an additional herbal note. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmony of smoky, bitter, and herbal flavors tantalizing the senses. The Highland's Whisper is served in an old-fashioned glass, which allows the robust aromatics to converge and provides a sturdy base
