Yield: 1 drink

Ingredients:

• 4 thin slices of ginger, peeled and about 3/4 inch round

• 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) blended scotch

• 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice

• 3/4 ounce (1 1/2 tablespoons) honey syrup

• 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) single malt scotch

• Ice, for serving

• Garnish: candied ginger or ginger root, lemon peel

Instructions:

1. In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle (gently mash) the ginger with a muddler or wooden spoon until it is mashed and juices are released, about 15 seconds.

2. To the cocktail shaker, add the blended scotch, lemon juice and honey syrup with a handful of ice. Shake until cold.

3. Strain the drink into a lowball glass with one large ice cube. Carefully pour the single malt scotch over the back of a spoon just above the surface of the drink, creating a layer on top.

4. Garnish with candied ginger, ginger root or lemon peel and serve.
