A short glass of orange cocktail with a foamy top and a spiced citrus garnish sits on a marble countertop; bottles are blurred in the background.

Keep things uncomplicated while also giving your cocktails variety with this cocktail that gives smoky scotch whisky a fruity effervescence. The essence of a ‘plus two’ is to simply combine The Singleton with equal parts of a fruit juice and an aerated mixer for a total of three equal parts - allowing one to experiment with a variety of flavourful elements.
