Whiskey Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• Add ice to cocktail glass. In cocktail shaker with ice, shake whiskey, simple syrup and lemon juice until blended. Pour into glass, straining out ice. Add carbonated beverage. Garnish with lemon wedge.

Steps:

• In bottom of cocktail shaker, muddle chopped apple with muddler or end of wooden spoon. Add whiskey, lemon juice and powdered sugar.
• Fill cocktail shaker with ice; shake until blended. Pour into lowball glass filled with ice, straining out apple and ice. Add enough carbonated beverage to fill glass. Garnish with apple slices.

Steps:

• For the ginger-honey syrup:
• Combine ginger and ½ cup water in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract juice. Pour ½ cup of the ginger juice into a large resealable jar and stir in honey. (If you'd like to tone down the ginger a bit, add additional ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup water.) Seal jar tightly and shake until honey is completely dissolved (or rinse out blender and blend ginger juice and honey together to mix.) Makes enough for 10 cocktails. Syrup will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator; shake well before using.
• For the cocktail:
• Combine blended Scotch, lemon juice, and Ginger-Honey Syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Add sparkling wine to a flute glass, then strain cocktail into glass. Gently float smoky Scotch on top of drink. Garnish with lemon twist and candied ginger.
