Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the Scotch whisky, orange juice, lemon juice, orgeat syrup, and simple syrup.
  • Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Garnish with an orange slice and a fresh sprig of mint for a vibrant finish.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For an extra smoky flair, consider using an Islay Scotch to enhance the smoky notes in the cocktail.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter profile, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
  • Chilling your glass before serving will enhance the overall sipping experience by keeping the cocktail cold longer.
