Grapefruit Whisky Fizz
Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)
| 2 oz | Blended Scotch whisky |
| 1 1⁄2 oz | Pink grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1⁄2 oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1⁄2 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
| 2⁄3 oz | Egg white |
| 3 dash | Peychaud's or other Creole-style bitters |
| 2 1⁄3 oz | Thomas Henry Pink Grapefruit soda |
Garnish: Grapefruit zest twist (discarded)
How to make:
SHAKE first 6 ingredients with ice and strain back into shaker. DRY SHAKE (without ice) and slowly pour 2/3rds of the contents of the shaker from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in glass) while simultaneously pouring soda with your other hand. The cocktail and soda should form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass. As when pouring a Guinness, to achieve a perfect head on your fizz, the cocktail should be left to settle for at least a minute before topping off with what remains in the shaker. Ideally, during the settling period, the glass should be placed in a glass froster/fridge/freezer. As the final contents of the shaker are poured into the glass so the head should rise like a souffle.

What a wonderful bunch cocktail. Stong on the grapefruit flavour, but with the hints of the whisky and spices. Cooling and relaxing on a warm August morning.
