“CASSELS TWIST & SHOUT”
Our take at an Old Fashioned, no cocktail list is complete without one.
2oz 60ml Spicy bourbon (we used Buffalo Trace)
1oz 30ml Cassels & Sons Milk Stout Syrup*
3-4 dash Xocolatl or chocolate bitters (we used Bittermens)
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass and add ice. Stir until chilled and dilute to taste (20-30 seconds).
Strain into a chilled lowball over one large cube of ice.
Garnish with a dehydrated pineapple or a couple of pineapple lumps.
*Cassels Milk Stout Syrup
Add one bottle of Cassels Milk Stout to a pan and simmer on a low heat. Reduce by 1/3rd to concentrate the flavour and add an equal volume of demerara sugar – one part sugar : one part reduced beer. Cool before use.
Notes: This Milk Stout syrup is seriously good, would be amazing on pancakes or waffles or anywhere maple syrup is used.
