Why you are pouring this tonight
Sam Ross’s modern classic from Milk & Honey, 2005. Blended scotch, lemon, honey-ginger syrup, and a smoky Islay float on top. The most-ordered cocktail in modern bars.
What to pour it alongside
Smoked oysters, smoked trout, peaty cheese.
Notes
The Islay float is non-negotiable, it’s what makes the cocktail. Without it, you have a Gold Rush variant.
