Instructions

Description: The Velvet Ember is a cocktail that embodies a perfect balance between sweetness and a deep smoky essence. A unique blend of Starward Whiskey, known for its rich and fruity notes, is the star of this luscious libation. The drink is accompanied by a hint of smoked honey and a whisper of cherry, providing an indulgent sweetness that complements the liquid gold's inherent flavors. Rounded off with a touch of citrus and the delicate aroma of burnt rosemary, this cocktail is a sensory delight that tantalizes the palate with its complexity and elegance. Ingredients: - 2 oz Starward Whiskey - 1/2 oz Smoked Honey Syrup* - 1/4 oz Cherry Liqueur - 1/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 2 Dashes of Aromatic Bitters - Fresh Rosemary Sprig (for garnish) - Ice - Optional: Cherry Wood Chips for Additional Smokiness *Smoked Honey Syrup: - 1 cup Honey - 1 cup Water - Cherry or Apple Wood Chips (for smoking) Glassware: Serve in a chilled Old-Fashioned Glass. Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing the smoked honey syrup. Combine honey and water in a saucepan and gently warm over low heat until fully incorporated. Smoke the syrup by using a smoking gun with cherry wood chips, or by placing the syrup in a container with lit smoking wood chips and covering it for several minutes to infuse the smokiness. Allow the syrup to cool before use. 2. In a mixing glass, combine Starward Whiskey, smoked honey syrup, cherry liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. 3. Add ice and aromatic bitters to the mixing glass. 4. Stir the mixture gently until well chilled. 5. If added smokiness is desired, briefly smoke the Old-Fashioned glass with cherry wood chips using a smoking gun and cover the glass to trap the smoke. 6. Strain the cocktail into the prepared Old-Fashioned glass over a large ice cube. 7. Lightly char the tip of a fresh rosemary sprig with a lighter or kitchen torch and place it as garnish on the drink to release its aroma. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, sweet, and smoky voyage of the Velvet Ember.
