Striking the perfect balance between contrasting flavours, the libation offers a perfect blend of cocktail ingredients to enhance the flavour profile. Putting together white wine and whisky can be a rare but interesting interplay while adding cinnamon syrup not only sweetens the drink but also contributes an aromatic layer to the drink.

What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
  • Black Dog Scotch Whisky (or any scotch whisky of choice)
    30ml
  • Cinnamon syrup
    7ml
  • White wine
    15ml
  • Apple slices
  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Step 1

    Add the whisky, cinnamon syrup and white wine to an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Strain and pour into a rocks glass filled with ice.

  3. Step 3

    Garnish with the apple slices and cinnamon sticks before serving.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Semi-sparkling or sparkling wine can be used in the cocktail because it pairs well with sweet cinnamon syrup.

  • If readymade cinnamon syrup is unavailable, homemade cinnamon syrup can be used. Simply boil water with white sugar or brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, stirring until it reaches a thick consistency.
