DR. WALKER’S ELIXIR

• DESCRIPTION

  This highball style drink showcases flavors that pull at the spice in the Johnnie Walker Black. The coffee plays with the darker notes of the rye while the cayenne plays at the spice. The nutmeg and Elderflower are a nod to the floral notes of the coffee.

• RECIPE

  1.5 oz Johnnie Walker Black

  1 oz Mr. Black

  0.75 Coffee Syrup*

  Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic

• PREPARATION

  Pour everything into a highball glass, less the tonic. Gently add ice and stir mixture to settle and nestle the ice into the glass. Top with more ice. Finish with Elderflower tonic. Garnish with Lemon swath (express over top before tucking into the side of the glass).
