hUMBLE pIE
Our first cocktail of 2024! Well we’re off to a good start with the not so humble Humble Pie, a drink that certainly packs a punch!
1oz Calvados
1oz Blended Scotch
⅙ oz Ginger Syrup
Dash of Angostura Bitters
2 Grinds Black Pepper
Splash of Pimento Dram / Allspice Liqueur if you have it.
Give everything a stir with ice and strain out into a rocks glass with a nice large chunk of ice.
Garnish with crystallised ginger if you’re feeling fancy.
As a non-whisky drinker I really liked this, the calvados softens the whole thing and the ginger and pepper give a bit of warmth.
However you would certainly only want the one, this is very much and end of the evening drink, not something to start the party with!
Do give it a go if you can and let us know what you think!
