A twist on the classic highball, which consists of whisky and soda served over ice in a tall glass. Our recipe combines The Singleton Whisky, which has notes of orange zest spiciness with a malty core of nuts, oak, and toffee is combined with our lemon and ginger infused simple syrup which complements the tasting notes to make this Whisky Lemonade

To make the simple syrup, combine equal parts of sugar and water, say ½ a cup of each with a few pieces of lemon peel and 2 or 3 slices of fresh ginger. Bring it to a simmer just to combine the sugar and water until it is completely dissolved. Turn the stove off, cover the pot, and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain and when cooled store in a bottle and refrigerate for up to a week. You will only use about ½ to 1 ounce for each drink.

The result is a refreshing sparkling drink with a hint of lemon and ginger that all whisky lovers will enjoy.

You can find The Singleton 12 at Vinoteca stores
