Almond thief
A whiskey daisy in a smoking jacket: two rich, oily pot-still whiskeys, one Irish and one Scottish, dressed with apricot, biscotti liqueur, and orgeat—refreshing in format, fireside in effect. Sam's naming rule: nothing too flowery, just evocative enough to make you want to know more. He just liked how it sounded, and that was reason enough.
Almond Thief
- 1 ounce Bowmore 12-year scotch
- 1 ounce Redbreast 12-year Irish whiskey
- 2 teaspoons Faretti Biscotti liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Rothman & Winter apricot liqueur
- ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
- ½ ounce House Orgeat
Shake all the ingredients with ice, then strain into a double old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. No garnish.
