Recipe Inspiration

The weather has been cooling down lately, and I am definitely missing parts of summer. One of my favorite summertime treats are s'mores, so I wanted recreate those flavors in a cocktail!

The trick to this drink is using peated Scotch. Peated scotch has a rich, smoky aroma and flavor. It can be very overpowering to beginner scotch and whisky enthusiasts, but to scotch and whisky lovers, it has a cult following.

I love this recipe because it uses the smoke of the peated scotch as a key flavor of the cocktail. The smoke in the scotch combines beautifully with nocino and is balanced out by a little sugar.
