Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 540 ml Scotch whisky - A light blend is the traditional choice; a smoky one is a different, louder drink
- 1620 ml Soda water - As cold as you can get it, and as fizzy as possible
- 12 twists Lemon twist (optional)
Batch (12 drinks) - about 2.16 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in the whiskey, then the soda, and stir once.
Method
- Chill a highball glass, then fill it right to the top with ice - large cubes if you have them.
- Pour in the whiskey and stir it through the ice for 15 seconds, until the glass is cold to hold.
- Add the soda water slowly down the inside of the glass, then lift it once with a barspoon.
- Twist a lemon peel over the top and drop it in.
