World Whisky Day is celebrated every year on the third Saturday in May. Extremely popular across the globe, it is no secret that Indians love whiskey. According to various international reports, India ranks among the largest consumers of whisky in the world. There is no reason for you to not indulge in your favourite spirit from the safety of your homes on World Whisky Day. We have for you three simple recipes by Beam Suntory that will help you whip up some exciting cocktails in no time.


New York Sour

Unlike a traditional whisky sour composed of whisky, sugar and citrus, the New York Sour elevates this recipe with a float of red wine. This creates an impressive visual and adds a deep red colour to the cocktail.

20ml Red Wine to float

30 ml Orange Juice

20 ml Sugar Syrup

20 ml Lemon Juice

Ice


Glass


Rocks glass


Method


Bring all ingredients in a shaker and strain.

For a little more depth, float red wine on the drink at the end.

 

Claremont Club

A twist to the Clover Club which has a base of gin, the Claremont Club is perfect for a hot summer day. A medley of flavours, the cocktail balances the sweetness and bitterness beautifully.

Ingredients

2 bar spoons Raspberry Puree

10 ml Cinnamon Syrup

10 ml Sugar Syrup

25 ml Lime Juice

1/2 Egg White

Patrao’s Siesta

Don’t we all crave for a trip to idyllic Goa right now? Influenced by the vibrant colonial architecture of Goa, Patrao’s Siesta represents the colours of a typical Goan villa. Transport yourself to the bliss and tranquillity of Goa with this cocktail.

Ingredients

50 ml Oaksmith Gold

10 ml Goan Port wine

20 ml Passion fruit pulp

30 ml Orange juice

Ice


Glass

Old Fashioned glass

Method

Shake all the ingredients except the port wine together in a shaker full of ice, and strain over one big piece of ice in an old fashioned glass.

Now gently pour the port wine over the drink so that it floats, creating a red layer on top.
