The classic cocktail - inspired by the adventures of our Master Distiller - rambles deep into a forest of botanical flavours, where aromas of juniper drift to an oaky finish.
INGREDIENTS
- 50ml Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest
- 20g dried juniper berries
- 200g water
- 200g caster sugar

METHOD
- To make 10ml juniper syrup, mix 20g dried juniper berries with 200g water and 200g caster sugar in a pan and bring to a boil.
- Turn off the heat at a simmer and leave it to rest for about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, fine strain through a 200 micron and press hard on the juniper berries. Store the liquid in an airtight container and refrigerate.
