Instructions

Description: The Midnight Ember is a sophisticated concoction designed for those who appreciate the deep complexity of smoky flavors, underpinned by the boldness of a well-crafted spirit. With no sweetness to distract the palate, this cocktail is a pure celebration of the darker, more intense side of mixology. Best sipped slowly, it unveils layers of aromatic smoke and rich, earthy undertones as the ice slowly melts. Ingredients: - 2 oz. Peated Scotch Whisky (such as Laphroaig or Ardbeg for intense smokiness) - 1 oz. Cask-Strength Bourbon - 1/2 oz. Amaro Nonino (or another bitter amaro of choice) - 2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters - Orange Peel (for garnish) - Smoked Ice Cube* *Smoked ice cubes can be made by melting and then re-freezing ice with smoke from a wood chip smoker, infusing a subtle smokiness to the cocktail as they melt. Glass: Serve in a chilled Old-Fashioned glass. Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the peated Scotch, cask-strength Bourbon, and Amaro Nonino. 2. Add the Angostura bitters to the mixture. 3. Fill the mixing glass with regular ice cubes to cool the mixture without immediately introducing the smoke flavor. 4. Stir the contents until well chilled. 5. Place a smoked ice cube into the chilled Old-Fashioned glass. 6. Strain the chilled mixture over the smoked ice cube in the Old-Fashioned glass. 7. Express the oils of the orange peel over the drink and rim the glass with it for an aromatic touch. 8. Drop the orange peel into the glass as a garnish. The smokiness from the peated Scotch and smoked ice cube, combined with the bourbon's rich profile and the bitterness of the amaro and bitters, creates an immersive drinking experience that is at once bold and nuanced.
