Cocktail Description
Two revered whiskeys collide in this luscious trans-Atlantic sour that marries Scottish smokiness with Irish smoothness.
The Cameron's Kick delivers a harmonious balance of rich whiskey complexity and bright citrus, with the almond orgeat adding a subtle sweetness and silky texture. Johnnie Walker's characteristic smoke dances with Jameson's lighter fruit notes while fresh lemon juice provides a crisp backbone that keeps the cocktail refreshing. This elegant sipper is surprisingly simple to craft at home, requiring just a good shake and fine strain for that perfect velvety texture. Ideal for spring and fall evenings when you're craving something simultaneously warming and refreshing, it's perfect for cocktail hour with friends who appreciate whiskey but want something more approachable than neat spirits. The drink pairs beautifully with smoked salmon canapés, aged cheese boards, or even rich desserts like almond cake—the orgeat creating a bridge between the cocktail and food.
