A Whisky Sour with honey richness, subtle smoke and enlivening ginger spice. A cocktail to slap the palate awake. Then you can't resist keep sipping it
Distinguished Spirits has a indepth video about it on youtube, that actually has the correct specs whiskey and method. Which I can confirm are correct thanks to having spoken with former Milk and Honey bartenders on the subject.
This one is all about the fresh ginger juice. Surely Kings doesn’t do it justice? Starting today this is how I intend to survive Covid through the winter.
The Islay whisky contributes massively to this cocktail. Without it, you'll still have a tasty drink but it will lack Islay's signature smoky peaty notes. I favour Lagavulin 16 year old.

I have been trying to perfect this and i find 1/4-1/2oz of egg whites added to Ross’s recipe is true perfection.
Some inconsistencies here. In the first part of the video lime juice is mentioned while it is lemon juice later. The recipes in the video and on the site differ from each other in respect of the blended Scotch and Islay malt ratio.
Agreed. Video is much in need of re-filming so in the meantime, we’ll remove from the page. Thanks for taking the time to comment and so make me aware.
