When the temperature is well below freezing you turn to Islay for the warming smoky flavors. The dark cherry balances the smoke from the peat. The Besamim is a great choice of sweeting agent lending more character than a simple syrup. Most recipes don’t fit as perfectly as this one did in my coupe glasses.

• 1 oz Islay Scotch
• 1 oz Besamim Liqueur
• 1/2 oz Cherry Brandy
• 3/4 oz Lime Juice
• 3/4 oz Orgeat Syrup
• 1/8 oz Rose Water
