Highland Harvest Fizz

Cocktail Description

The Highland Harvest Fizz transforms Scotland's most famous whisky into an unexpected autumn refresher that balances smoky depth with orchard sweetness.

This elegant highball combines the peaty complexity of Johnnie Walker Black Label with the bright acidity of fresh lemon juice, while pressed apple juice adds natural sweetness and autumnal character. The maple syrup introduces warm, caramel notes that complement the whisky's oak influence, and a splash of ginger ale brings effervescence and subtle spice that ties everything together. Perfect for cocktail hour as summer transitions to fall, this drink works equally well at outdoor gatherings or as a pre-dinner aperitif. It's remarkably simple to prepare despite its sophisticated flavor profile, requiring just a basic shake-and-strain technique that even novice home bartenders can master. The Highland Harvest Fizz pairs beautifully with savory appetizers like smoked salmon canapés, aged cheese boards, or maple-glazed bacon wrapped dates, allowing the cocktail's fruity brightness to cut through rich, salty flavors.
