The Singleton Hopscotch Summer Serve Cocktail
The Single Malt Scotch Whisky Summer Serve cocktail is a vibrant, fruity beverage that accentuates The Singleton’s silky flavour. It complements the spirit’s subtle smokiness and malt depth with the luscious sweetness of peach juice and the aromatic lift of peach liqueur. To preserve the scotch’s integrity, the beverage is slowly stirred rather than shaken, while the peach-based ingredients are smoothly blended.

- Step 3

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
If fresh, ripe peach juice is available, use it; bottled versions might be too sweet or artificially flavoured, which can disrupt the balance of the whisky.
Preparation Tip 2
Add only a little teaspoon of fine sea salt, as it should enhance the flavours without making the drink overly salty or briny.
