Singleton Plus Two Tropical Cocktail
This unusual pairing combines the peaty richness of the Singleton with the luxuriant sweetness of guava juice and the citrussy sharpness of grapefruit. It's tropical without being cloying and smoky—a drink that surprises on the first sip and lingers with complexity. It looks just as good as it tastes when served over ice with a curl of pink grapefruit peel on top.

- 45mL guava juice
- 30mL fresh grapefruit juice

Method
- Step 1
Fill a mixing glass halfway with ice cubes to chill the drink without diluting it too much while swirling.
- Step 2
Pour single malt Scotch whisky, guava juice, and fresh grapefruit juice into a glass.
- Step 3
Gently stir for about 20 seconds to level out the flavours while keeping the texture balanced and the temperature cool.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Chill the guava and grapefruit juices ahead of time to prevent excessive dilution from shaking, which can dilute the Scotch flavour in this tropical-style cocktail.
Preparation Tip 2
Guava juice is naturally sweet; therefore, adding sugar syrup is unnecessary. Instead, tweak the grapefruit ratio to achieve the ideal tart-sweet balance.
