Righto- 5ml rich syrup- and Compass Box Glasgow Blend a winner. The peatyness and lemon work well with the dryness of triple sec. CB Glasgow Blend is my favourite blend mixer. Hats off to John Glaser and co.

I tried it...it worked. Like Chris I had a bottle of JW Black Label open (a great mixer with just about everything) and it was good. Didn't salt the rim but added 3-4 drops of saline solution- next time I'll drop the syrup down to 0-5ml as our lemons are quite sweet.

I made this with Dewar's White Label and it was so-so — might be great with a less oaky whisky

Excellent. Sort of a Margarita with a hint of smoky. Not being a fan of Mezcal, this cocktail gives you a nice alternative. Living close to the Mexico boarder I have had a lot of margaritas, this version is a real winner.

Made this with Johnnie Walker Black last night; worked pretty well. Has anyone tried it with a more opinionated scotch? Would be interested in how much the profile of the spirit remains.

We made it with a Speyside single malt (Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection Vat 01) and while that probably isn't the most opinionated scotch it's certainly different to a blended. In terms of profile the nose was still very much single malt whisky, but the taste and flavour in combination with the other ingredients was very similar to a Reposado. I would certainly make it again.

Definitely works as noted! Salt rim is nice too. I’ll come back and over this when I want a scotch based cocktail.

Unusual! I used a 1960s bottle of J&B and this definitely highlighted the bit of peat it has. The salt definitely gives it the “margarita” experience.

Very nicely balanced. The scotch, and lemon juice is still there, but subtle. A perfect example of the sum of the parts delivering something new.
