Signature Salty Bay Cocktail
The Whisky Salty Bay cocktail is a savoury, citrusy drink made with Signature Premier Whisky, bay leaf-infused water, fresh lime juice and syrup, featuring a balanced, herbaceous flavour profile.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Bay leaves should be infused in water rather than muddled since the latter generates bitter oils, which might disrupt the profile of the drink.
Preparation Tip 2
Always shake the drink with ice rather than stirring it, as shaking better combines the salt and bay leaf water and gives the drink a brighter, livelier texture.
