History

The godfather of bartending, Jerry Thomas, offered both a hot and cold version of his Scotch Whisky Punch in his 1862 Bartender's Guide and it is in the cold form that the drink has survived. Modernity dictated that we streamline the recipe and ingredients which originally called for boiling water and an extended chilling period.

2 slice of lemon peal in a shaker really makes a difference, very refreshing but with enough depth from scotch.I omitted 45ml of chilled water and used wet ice instead.

do 20 ml lemon and 20 ml simple syrup instead for an alternatively sweeter, yet still balanced version, delicious!
