Mark Twain Cocktail

A bright, tart whisky sour that balances zesty lemon and sweet syrup against the smoky, malty character of Scotch, with a hint of spice from Angostura bitters. Pale and well-chilled in the glass, it’s a refreshing, slightly savory twist on a classic sour worth trying if you enjoy whisky with citrus punch. The straightforward recipe makes it an easy way to explore Scotch in a cocktail context.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Scotch
  • 0.75 oz Lemon Juice
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura® Bitters

  2. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy.
