Instructions

The Highland Zephyr is a refreshing homage to the crisp breezes of the Scottish Highlands. This cocktail combines the peaty complexity of scotch with the nutty undertones of dry sherry and the effervescence of soda water, while a tart twist of Granny Smith apple brings a bright and refreshing finish. Each sip promises to evoke the serene beauty of Scotland's natural landscapes. Ingredients: - 2 oz Scotch whisky - 1 oz Dry sherry (Fino or Manzanilla) - 3 oz Soda water - 2 thin slices of Granny Smith apple (plus extra for garnish) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. Begin by chilling a highball glass. 2. In a mixing glass, muddle one slice of Granny Smith apple to extract the juice and release the flavor. 3. Add Scotch whisky and dry sherry to the apple mixture. 4. Fill the chilled highball glass with ice cubes. 5. Strain the Scotch and sherry mixture over the ice in the highball glass. 6. Gently pour soda water to the brim of the glass to maintain the fizz. 7. Stir the cocktail lightly to integrate the soda without releasing too much carbonation. 8. Garnish with a fan of thinly sliced Granny Smith apple on the rim or a single slice floated on top. Serve with a stirring rod or a straw, and enjoy the Highland Zephyr as a sophisticated yet refreshing beverage – perfect for a late afternoon delight or a classy evening aperitif.
