The Wind-Up
Recipe:
- 30ml amaretto (preferably Adriatico)
- 15ml blended scotch
- 15ml peated Single Malt (preferably Laphroaig 10)
- 22.5ml orgeat
- 22.5ml lemon juice
- 1 egg white
Dryshake everything, shake again with big ice cubes, strain into a prechilled coupe, garnish with drops of Angostura bitters.
One of those recipes and drinks of which I rather expected nothing special, but was overwhelmingly positively surprised.
Absolutely delicious. Probably my favourite orgeat drink after the classic Mai Tai. Just the right mix of sweet-tart-fresh, the glass was empty in 3-4 sips, I haven't had that in a long time. Lightly roasted almonds, malt, vanilla milkshake, lemon and the textuuuuure, oh boy. I don't really have anything more to say.
By the way, at 30 ml, I would go for high-quality amaretto, like the Adriatico from Kirsch-Import boys and girls (here in Germany), more about this one here.
