Nether Gold

Ingredients

• 4 slices fresh, peeled ginger
• 4 ounces blended scotch
• 1.5 ounces fresh lemon juice
• 2 dashes bitters
• Roughly cracked or small ice cubes
• Large ice cubes
• ½ ounce peated scotch or absinthe

Equipment

• 2 Rocks or Old-Fashioned glasses

Instructions

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the ginger to partially break it down to release the flavor. Add the blended scotch, lemon juice, 1½ ounces of chamomile honey syrup, and the bitters to the cocktail shaker. Fill halfway with ice, cover, and shake until well chilled, about 30 seconds. Add the large cubes to the rocks glasses. Strain and divide the mixture evenly between the two glasses. Pour ¼ ounce of the peated scotch over the back of a spoon into each glass, allowing the spirit to float on top of the mixed cocktail. Serve at once.
