How to make:

MUDDLE fennel in stirring glass. Add other ingredients, STIR with ice and fine strain into ice-filled glass.

Garnish:

Fresh fennel

Comment:

Fennel and pastis freshen and delicately flavour Scotch with the merest hint of apple. Best made by infusing the fennel with the scotch whisky for a week or so rather than muddling.

Origin:

Created in July 2013 by Simon Difford at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
