This week, our featured cocktail recipe comes from Ross Little from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's (SMWS) Kaleidoscope Bar in Edinburgh. It's made with Wandering Alchemy, a SMWS blended malt whisky which uses spirit from each of Scotland's five whisky-producing region.

The blend was created to celebrate Scotland's whisky festivals, an ever-growing field which includes the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, Fèis Ìle, and more. The summery, flavourful cocktail serve continues the celebration of whisky festival season in a glass. 

Ingredients:

25ml Wandering Alchemy Blended Malt Whisky

10ml coffee liqueur

5ml honey

2 dashes chocolate bitters

2 dashes walnut bitters

Tonic water

Method:
Add all the ingredients to a cocktail mixing glass filled with ice and stir well. Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice, then top with tonic. Garnish with a wedge of burnt orange (lightly charred using a kitchen blowtorch for added aroma and depth).
