ELECTROLIGHT COCKTAIL RECIPE

Short and strong - Advanced - Old Fashioned Glass

Served up at the winning Chivas Masters 2019 Pirouettes bar, Electrolight is a flavour sensation. Using aromatic Chivas Mizunara as its base, this cocktail recipe features the beautiful, tropical flavours of coconut and pineapple. Rinsing the glass with absinthe instead of adding it into the mixture adds just subtle hint of aromatic anise, but not enough to overwhelm the other flavours in this drink.

Ingredients

[50] Chivas Mizunara
[20] honey and coconut cordial
{2} dashes pineapple bitters
Absinthe rinse

How to make it

1 To make the honey and coconut cordial, blend 2 parts honey with 1 part coconut water.
2 Optional add on is to add 2g of citric acid per every 100ml of cordial to make it more acidic.
3 Add the Chivas, cordial and bitters to a mixing vessel.
4 Fill to the top with ice, and stir for approximately 20 seconds, tasting intermittently.
5 Rinse a rocks or old fashioned glass with absinthe.
6 Strain into the rinsed glass.
7 Serve.

How to make a cordial?

You can make a range of cordials by simmering your chosen cocktail ingredients with one part sugar and two parts water, alongside a touch of citrus juice or citric acid to balance the sweetness.

WHISKY COCKTAIL RECIPE TIP

To do the absinthe rinse, simply add a dash of absinthe to a glass and swill it around. Alternatively, you can add the spirit to a spray bottle and spray the inside of the glass.
