Instructions

Take your guests on a refreshing journey through the Scottish highlands with this innovative whisky cocktail. Blending the smoky touch of Scotch with bright notes of mint and lemon, the Highland Zephyr is a delightful and invigorating drink suitable for any occasion. Ingredients: - 2 oz Scotch whisky - 8-10 fresh mint leaves - 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz simple syrup - Soda water to top up - Ice cubes - Lemon wheel (for garnish) - Sprig of mint (for garnish) Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lemon juice and simple syrup to release the mint's aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves, as this will make the cocktail bitter. 2. Add the Scotch whisky and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. 3. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold to the touch. 4. Fill the highball glass with fresh ice cubes. 5. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice, making sure to leave the muddled mint leaves behind. 6. Top up the glass with soda water, giving it a gentle stir to incorporate without bruising the mint. 7. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of mint. 8. Serve immediately with a straw. The Highland Zephyr is a harmonious blend of smoky, sweet, and citrusy flavors, with the effervescence of soda water bringing it all together into a chilled, rejuvenating cocktail experience.
