Sleight of Hand
An elegant and surprising serving with a dramatic garnish. The Sleight of Hand presents as a classic Old Fashioned style cocktail but reveals itself with the first sip. Dried fruit, bright acidity, and all of the complexity of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label make for a perfect marriage. A custom-etched, perfect ice block keeps the cocktail at the ideal temperature, while an ethereal citrus aroma drifts down the glass.
Ingredients:
1.75 oz Johnnie Walker Blue Label
0.5 oz Cocchi di Torino
0.5 oz Ume (plum) Extract
0.25 oz PX Sherry
1 oz Water
0.4g Lemon Juice
Method: Combine all ingredients into a batched cocktail ahead of time. Pour 3 ½ oz into a mixing glass with ice. Stir to chill and pour over ice into a double old-fashioned glass.
