STORM IN A TEACUP

Fresh

Storm in a Teacup draws inspiration from a Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktail but replaces dark rum with richer Scotch for a more sophisticated whisky cocktail recipe. This cocktail also upgrades the ginger beer in this recipe, using fresh ginger and pear shrub instead.

WHAT ARE SHRUBS?

Shrubs are a way of preserving fruit in vinegar, which results in a sweet yet tart syrup that’s perfect for cocktails. The week’s wait for the shrub is more than worth it – and should keep in a refrigerator for long enough that you can enjoy it on other cocktail-making evenings!
