A Whisky Cocktail with a Twist: The Antiquary 15-Year-Old Rob Roy
If you love whisky and enjoy experimenting with classic cocktail flavors, you’re in for a treat. We’re showcasing a sophisticated and refined cocktail that brings together the rich, complex character of Antiquary 15-Year-Old whisky with the sweetness of Noilly Prat Rouge, the bright tang of rhubarb bitters, and a touch of maraschino cherry syrup. This cocktail is stirred to perfection, chilled in a frozen coupe, and topped with a unique garnish—a flamed oil peel that adds an aromatic finish to your drink.
Let’s dive into this elegant creation that’s sure to impress your guests or elevate your next at-home happy hour.
The Recipe:
- 50ml Antiquary 15-Year-Old Whisky
- 25ml Noilly Prat Rouge (French Sweet Vermouth)
- 2 dashes Rhubarb Bitters
- 1 dash Peychaud’s Bitters
- 1 bar spoon of Maraschino Cherry Syrup
The Method:
-
Stir Down the Ingredients:
Combine the Antiquary 15-Year-Old Whisky, Noilly Prat Rouge, rhubarb bitters, Peychaud’s bitters, and maraschino cherry syrup in a mixing glass. Stir the ingredients together for 10 to 30 seconds, depending on how well you want the flavors integrated. The goal is to chill and dilute the drink just enough to harmonize the flavors. -
Strain Into a Coupe Glass:
Strain the stirred concoction straight into a frozen coupe glass. Chilling the glass ahead of time ensures that the drink stays cool and crisp from start to finish. -
Garnish with Flair:
For a finishing touch, garnish your cocktail with a skewered maraschino cherry and a flamed oil peel. To create the flamed peel, use a citrus peel (orange or lemon) and hold it over a flame for a brief moment to release its oils. Then, twist the peel over the drink to add a burst of citrus aroma and drop it in. The heat from the flame will bring out the oils, giving your drink a unique aromatic experience.
Perfect for Any Occasion
This cocktail is ideal for those moments when you want to sip something that feels both classic and modern, rich and refreshing. Whether you’re enjoying it as an aperitif before dinner, sharing it with friends by the campfire, or treating yourself to a quiet moment of indulgence, this drink is sure to evoke the charm of long summer nights.
So the next time you reach for a bottle of Antiquary 15-Year-Old Whisky, try this elegant recipe, and transport yourself to a time of relaxation and camaraderie, no matter where you are. Cheers!
