Smoked Honey Sour

(Smoky Whisky)

The world of travel retail is full of delicious delights perfect for luxurious libations

This drink is a creation of Steph Dicamillo of Cocktails By Mail, in this case made with the travel exclusive Johnnie Walker Island Green. This is a blend of single malt whiskies, but with a greater influence from Caol Ila than the original Green Label.

50 ml Johnnie Walker Island Green (or other smoky whisky)

25 ml honey syrup (two parts honey, one part boiling water; stir and cool)

25 ml fresh lemon juice

Add the ingredients to a mixing glass and stir vigorously, then strain into an ice-filled tumbler and garnish with a long, thin strip of lemon peel.

The smoky notes of the whisky integrate well with the mellow honey, whilst the citrus gives a balancing lift.
