Scotch Mist (serves 4)


 

Chez hasn’t done a cocktail in a while and this one is well worth the wait. Keep in mind that even if you are not a Scotch drinker this one will still pass the ‘palate test’… Even my wife says so, and she is no Scotch-liker (in fact, she’s a Scotch-hater!).  Also keep in mind that the best choice of Scotch for this application IS NOT the single malts that are best saved for sipping. Instead, opt for the low-end blends. They tend to mix better and play very well with the citrus and sugar of the recipe.
 
Only 175 calories in this one so all I can say is...
Enjoy!

1/2  cup blended Scotch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed is always best)
1/2 cup water
10-15 ice cubes
Either lemon zest or a lime slice (garnish)
Place it all in the blender and take it for a spin. You are looking for the consistency of a Slurpee®
Garnish with a touch of lemon zest or a lime slice.
