Dunmore Cobbler
Recipe:
- 60ml amontillado sherry
- 20ml pineapple syrup
- 15ml scotch whisky
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 3 dashes aromatic bitters
Shake all ingredients with ice until sufficiently chilled, strain into a prechilled collins glass over crushed ice, garnish with pineapple wedge and/or fonds and some more drops of bitters over the ice.
Tiki style drinks, but based on unusual or even low-ABV ingredients? Count me in!
A very drinkable yet complex combination with a nice nutty, round body from the amontillado, plus ripe pineapple, malt and lightly toasted oak, as well as a hint of tiki spice in the finish. A great crowdpleaser, which is always exciting with unusual ingredients that people might not otherwise order directly or expect to find together in a drink. A sherry-based drink that I don't like at all? I have yet to find one...
