Highland Sling

Bright, lemon-driven tartness and a touch of sugar balance the peaty, savory character of Scotch, yielding a crisp, slightly smoky sour. It pours a pale, refreshing yellow in a highball and is finished with a lemon twist for aromatic lift. Worth trying if you enjoy simple, spirit-forward cocktails where citrus softens the whisky's smokiness.
