Scotch Fruit Cocktail
Enjoying a drink outside is a given as we move into long summer days. If you want an alternative to beer or white wine, try this flavourful cocktail based on blended scotch whisky, you will find it is as easy to enjoy as it is to make. This cocktail is a variation based on several known classic cocktails employing a spirit mixed with fresh fruit. In this case, we are mixing blended scotch whisky and fresh lime juice. The addition of Ginger beer helps to balance these two intense flavours. It is also a great way to introduce new drinkers to scotch.
Materials
- 2 oz Blended Scotch Whisky See notes below.
- 3/4 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1 btl Ginger Beer
- Lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice, add whisky & lime juice.
- Top the glass with chilled ginger beer.
- Add garnish & enjoy!
Notes
- Any inexpensive blended scotch will work well with this cocktail.
- To help reduce calories and carbs, try a sugar-free, alcohol-free version of Ginger Beer, such as Fever Tree.
- For a spicy version of this cocktail, replace the Blended Scotch with a
Canadian Rye whiskey. - The mix of scotch whisky and ginger beer is about taste so an alcohol-free whiskey should work well here to make this a mocktail.
