Description

Apricot Jasmine Highball is built to stay light. Japanese whisky provides grain, orchard fruit and gentle oak, apricot liqueur adds stone-fruit richness and jasmine syrup contributes floral top notes.

Fresh lemon and a large pour of soda pull the drink back toward the dry, crisp style of a whisky highball rather than a fruity Collins.

Ingredients

  • 40 ml Japanese Whisky
  • 15 ml Apricot liqueur
  • 8 ml Jasmine Syrup
  • 10 ml lemon juice
  • Soda Water to top
  • 1 piece Lemon peel (for garnish)
  • Ice

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Use for gentle integration without losing carbonation. Bottle Opener – Useful for opening bottled sparkling mixers.

Instructions

  1. Fill a chilled highball glass completely with hard ice and stir briefly to chill the glass.
  2. Add Japanese whisky, apricot liqueur, jasmine syrup and lemon juice.
  3. Stir several turns, then add very cold soda water down the side of the glass.
  4. Lift once gently with a bar spoon.
  5. Express a lemon peel over the top and garnish.
