Smoky scotch adds extra depth to this riff.

Islay is an island off Scotland’s western coast, renowned for its smoky, peaty single malts. And what’s the perfect island drink? A Daiquiri. This cocktail matches smoky scotch with pineapple rum, and a coconut-tea syrup ties it all together.

Ingredients

1 oz. peated single malt Scotch whisky (Scotch Lodge uses Ardbeg)
1 oz. Stiggins Fancy pineapple rum
3⁄4 oz. fresh lime juice
1⁄2 oz. coconut oolong syrup
2 drops Bittermens tiki bitters

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:coupe
Garnish:grated numeg

Preparation

Shake all of the ingredients together with ice to chill, strain into a chilled glass, then garnish.

Coconut-Oolong Syrup: Steep 10 grams of coconut-oolong tea in 1 cup of hot water for 8 minutes, then strain. Mix 2 parts demerara sugar to 1 part tea, and blend until sugar dissolves. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
