A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean rocks glass for each serving. Add 120 g of fresh cubed ice to each glass just before pouring.
Measure into your shaker
Add the blended Scotch, lemon juice, honey syrup, and ginger syrup to the shaker. Keep the Islay Scotch aside.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer to pour into the prepared rocks glass. Slowly pour the measured Islay Scotch over the back of a spoon onto the surface. Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
