Whisky Blend with Honey and Oats: Atholl Brose Recipe
Rewritten Article:
Hop on a journey to Scotland with a twist through San Francisco, as we whip up an Atholl Brose-inspired drink laced with cold-brewed coffee goodness. Originally, Atholl Brose is a traditional Scottish drink made with Scotch whisky, the liquid from soaked steel-cut oats, honey, and cream. But this tale isn't about the ordinary.
After numerous attempts, a lightbulb flickered on: My coffee would elevate the oats' flavor without overwhelming them. I snatched some cold-brewed coffee concentrate on my way to work, and voila! Cue a triumphant hero music, because we've unearthed a winner.
His name is the Atholl Brewsed Brose, and It's a charming sip served chilled, but whisky lovers may prefer it heated-just warm up the honey syrup and oat-infused milk, skip the ice, and give it a good stir. And don't throw those toasted oats away! You can whip up a filling breakfast oatmeal by adding water, cooking for around 45 minutes, and voila! Breakfast of champions.
Ingredients (10ish):- A splendid coffee concentrate: Try Jittery John's Cold Brew Coffee (in bay areas) or Trader Joe's Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate, available on Amazon. Or, make your own Cold Brew!- A bottle of malt whisky- A jar of heavenly heather honey- A carton of double cream- A dash of vanilla extract (optional)- Ice cubes- Fresh nutmeg to sprinkle
Instructions (using 2oz malt whisky, 1 tablespoon coffee concentrate, and 1/2 tablespoon heather honey syrup):
- Prepare Heather Honey Syrup: In a small saucepan, heat equal parts honey and water until dissolved. Let it cool.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine whisky, heather honey syrup, coffee concentrate, and vanilla (if using).
- Chill and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
- Add Cream: Pour the double cream into the shaker and shake again without ice.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a drizzle of heather honey syrup.
Remember, the coffee concentrate quantity is up to your distinctive taste. You might want to sip the traditional side too! For more Scottish cocktail recipes, check out our Rob Roy, and let the party begin!
