The Scotsman cocktail

Ingredients

• 50ml Co-op Irresistible single malt Scotch whisky
• 50ml sweet red vermouth
• 1 tsp golden syrup or honey
• 4 dashes of bitters
• Clementine zest, to serve

Method

1. Pour 50ml Co-op Irresistible single malt Scotch whisky and 50ml sweet red vermouth into a cocktail shaker
2. Add 1 tsp golden syrup or honey and stir through until dissolved. Half-fill the shaker with ice and add 4 dashes of bitters
3. Shake well, until icy cold, then strain into a cocktail glass
4. Twist a strip of clementine zest over the cocktail to release the oils, then curl it over the edge of the glass and serve

Make it a mocktail: Swap the whisky and vermouth for Co-op Irresistible Assam Fairtrade tea, brewed and chilled, and Co-op apple juice, and leave out the bitters
