But what is the difference between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned? How do you make each drink? And which is better? Step 5: Add ice to the shaker and shake until well chilled. Strain into a double old fashioned glass filled with ice. Another great Islay whisky which couldn’t be more different to Ardbeg, Bowmore is the master of mixing elegant smoke with fruity sherry casks. After 18 years of age this superb single malt has developed notes of apricot like you might find in an old Cognac combined with dried fruit and wood smoke. Pineapple

simple syrup– you can buy this at your local store (liquor or grocery!), but I just make it at home. All you need are equal parts water and sugar. Bring to a boil in a saucepan and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cool, and store in the refrigerator! I usually make mine in batches of 2 c sugar/2 c water. A Cherry Whiskey Sour is an easy recipe made with fresh juices, whiskey, and Cherry Simple Syrup. Share this delicious refreshing drink with friends and family at your next holiday party or at any casual happy hour gathering. WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS WHISKEY SOUR RECIPE The infused whiskey is so strong that you can use it like an extract, mixing it with others liquors for what’s known as a “compound liquor”. For example, start mixing the cherry whisky with 1:4 parts dry white wine, adding cherry gastrique, or some burnt sugar for sweetness, along with a vanilla bean and a few peels or orange rind. Yes, whiskey sours are very spirit forward. The cherries and lemon juice are the only non-spirit. Amaretto does have a lower ABV (alcohol by volume) than whiskey, which is usually 21-28%. Whiskey’s ABV is around 35-40%, sometimes higher.Fresh cherries – You can use frozen pitted cherries if cherries are not in season for you. Also, Luxardo jarred cherries work well here too, but they are expensive. I would not use the bright red, cheap maraschino cherries. With: Scotch whisky, Islay single malt, Cherry Heering cherry brandy, kirsch eau-de-vie, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and orange juice.

A shot of flavored whiskey will give you the best understanding of its taste, but there are other ways to drink them. Use them in a hot toddy, a mint julep, an old-fashioned, or a Manhattan. You think Ardbeg is all about fierce peat? Well take another sniff and you can’t help notice that it has a strong limey note. It’s there in the new make and it carries through every expression but it’s particularly apparent in the classic 10-year-old bottling along with vanilla, smoke, and seaspray. Apricot Amaretto– I use Disaronno whenever I use amaretto as it doesn’t completely break the bank and tastes good. Amaretto can be found at any liquor store.
