1 fl oz Peated Single Malt Whisky (Bowmore 8yo)
5⁄6 fl oz Elderflower liqueur (St. Germain)
1⁄2 fl oz Blended Scotch whisky (Chivas Regal 12)
1⁄2 fl oz Gentian liqueur (Suze)
1⁄2 fl oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 1⁄2 fl oz. Sparkling Water (S. Pellegrino)
Kind of a wake-up call to the palate. Smoky, bitter, floral and tart with the effervescence providing and all too easy drinkability. Keeps getting better the further the level drops in the glass.
My suggestion is to use a very peaty single malt to help counterbalance the sweetness and bitterness from the mix of ingredients. That Bowmore has a very phenolic creosote pitch character to produce a balanced cocktail.
