Jim Beam® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 40% Alc./Vol. ©2010 James B. Beam Distilling Co., Clermont, KY. Not for Sale to Persons Under the Age of 18.
Summer Scotch By: Charles MacLean { } Purists maintain that Scotch—especially single malt—must be drunk only straight, on the rocks or, if you must, with a splash of water, and they generally tend to think of it as a winter tipple. To each his own, but until the mid-1800s, most Scotch was actually consumed in punch. Jerry Thomas of course includes a recipe in his seminal 1862 bartender’s guide How to Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant’s Companion. It calls for steeping lemon-peel shavings in whisky, “which should be Glenlivet or Islay, of the best quality.” (He goes on to remark, cheekily, “as it requires genius to make whiskey punch, it would be impertinent to give proportions.”) Today, these concoctions are enjoying a revival in Edinburgh’s stylish bars and allow for all kinds of experimentation. They are also great served outdoors in warm weather (think barbecues). I recommend using a light-bodied blended Scotch as your base—Cutty Sark, Chivas Regal or J&B Rare, for example—but don’t be afraid to try malts as well: Talisker introduces spice while Laphroaig or Ardbeg adds smoke. Mix the whisky with ginger ale, ginger beer, lemonade, club soda, apple juice or elderflower liqueur. Lemon, lime and ginger seem to go best with Scotch. I like a dash of Tabasco Sauce or bitters in some combinations, but please be discreet. To get you started, I asked Stuart McCluskey, one of Scotland’s leading mixologists and owner of The Bon Vivant bar in Edinburgh, to create a refreshing summer whisky punch recipe. Slàinte!
