Show Notes
It's Happy Hour! In this episode Matthew presents his original scotch and rosemary sour, the Highland Harvest. It's fall in a cocktail glass. Meanwhile Ben is getting spoopy with his Halloween inspired Bitter Blood Curse. It's bright, sweet and ... well, cursed with bitterness. Also they discuss glamping, boiling water in a bag and how to get the best foam from your egg whites. Recipes below.
Highland Harvest
- 2 oz Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Glenlivet 12)
- 1 oz Lemon juice
- 3/4 oz Fig Syrup (Equal Parts Fig Preserves and water)
- 3 drops Black Walnut Bitters
- 1 Egg white
- 1 Sprig Rosemary
- Garnish: fig slice or rosemary sprig
- Muddle rosemary in bottom of a shaker. Add remaining ingredients except the bitters and shake without ice for 20 seconds. Add ice and shake again until chilled.
- Single strain into a coupe glass. Allow foam to come to top and place three drops of bitters on top and drag through the whites with a toothpick.
- Garnish with a fig slice or rosemary sprig.
Bitter Blood Curse
