Oatmeal Cookie Cocktail
The oatmeal cookie cocktail works within a specific textural and aromatic framework, made to replicate dessert-like cocktails while retaining traditional mixology principles. Constructed around a triad of liqueur, spiced whisky and modifiers, the modern serve showcases buttery elements which function as stabilisers, rounding spice tones while enabling cohesive layering. When made correctly, it requires low complexity without sacrificing integrity.
