Ingredients
Serves1- Check off ingredients
- 30mL Scotch whisky (blended or lightly peated)
- 60mL chilled black iced tea (unsweetened)
- 15mL fresh lemon juice
- 1tsp honey or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon wheel (for garnish)
Method
- Step 1
Fill a highball glass or rocks glass with ice to create a chilled, steady base for the drink that won't dilute too quickly.
- Step 2
Pour Scotch, iced tea, and lemon juice immediately over the ice, and if desired, add a teaspoon of honey or syrup for sweetness.
- Step 3
Stir gently but thoroughly to combine the smoky whisky with the tannins of the tea and the brightness of citrus.
- Step 4
Garnish with a lemon wheel on the rim or floating in the glass for an inviting, citrus-forward look.
Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Choose a light Scotch whisky with soft malt characteristics; steer away from the assertive smoky or heavily oaked types to maintain the drink's lightness.
Serving Tip 1
Choose a thin slice of lemon or dehydrated citrus slice as a garnish to provide a clean visual without contributing unnecessary flavours.
