Cocktail Description
A daring fusion of Mediterranean anise and smoky Islay peat creates a cocktail that's both mysterious and magnetic.
The Misty Highland Whisper combines the herbaceous licorice notes of Ricard Pastis with the intense maritime smokiness of Ardbeg Corryvreckan, while Ketel One vodka provides a clean foundation that allows these bold flavors to shine. Each sip begins with a gentle anise sweetness that quickly gives way to complex layers of smoldering peat, sea spray, and subtle citrus from the lemon garnish. This sophisticated sipper is perfect for cool evenings by the fire or as a contemplative nightcap after a special dinner. With just three ingredients stirred together, it's surprisingly simple to prepare despite its complex flavor profile. The Misty Highland Whisper pairs beautifully with bold cheeses like aged Roquefort or alongside oysters, where its smoky character enhances the briny sweetness of seafood.
