Smoky Yellow Highlander

This intriguing cocktail features the bold and complex flavors of scotch and the unique sweetness of yellow chartreuse. To give it a little extra flair, we add a subtle touch of smoke that lingers with every sip. Here's how to make it: Ingredients: - 2 oz scotch - 1 oz yellow chartreuse - 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/4 oz honey syrup (equal parts honey and water, heated and cooled) - 1 dash of Angostura bitters - Wood chips for smoking Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the scotch, yellow chartreuse, lemon juice, honey syrup, and bitters. 2. Fill a smoking box or container with wood chips (e.g. applewood, hickory) and light it with a torch or lighter. 3. Place the shaker in the smoking box and cover it with the lid to let the cocktail absorb the smoke for about 20-30 seconds. 4. Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with ice. 5. Garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of rosemary, if desired.
