Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use a mild blended Scotch for the base to let the honey and ginger shine through.
  • Make your honey-ginger syrup by combining equal parts honey and hot water with fresh sliced ginger; steep, strain, and cool before use.
  • Pouring the Islay Scotch over a spoon allows for better layering and aroma control.
