A refreshing, nuanced take on a Sour featuring two unlikely base spirit partners that accentuate the flavors of ripe nectarine The juniper and other spices in the blend of gins pair with the honey and cereal grain notes in the blended scotch to create a canvas that highlights the bright flavors of ripe stonefruit. The honey syrup provides a funky sweetness that helps bridge the fruit and spirits while the fresh lemon juice adds acidity and freshness. A splash of ginger liqueur and dash of Jamaican bitters add complementary notes of baking spice Muddle 3 slices of ripe yellow nectarine (even better if you can find mango nectarine variety) in .5 oz Honey Syrup (equal parts honey and warm water; stir until dissolved) Add: 1 oz Blended Scotch (Great King St Artist’s Blend has subtle flavors that are great with clear spirits) .5 oz London Dry Gin (Beefeater, Four Pillars, etc) .5 oz Old Tom Gin (softer gin that predates London Dry Style and has a touch of sweetness; Hayman’s and Scofflaw are nice options) .75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice Tsp Ginger Liqueur (Giffard or King’s Ginger) 1 dash Bittercube Jamaican Bitters #1 (Ginger and Allspice notes) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a slice of nectarine and freshly grated nutmeg #ripmichaelkwilliams #allinthegameyo
