Servings
6
cocktails (and 1 cup honey syrup)
Ingredients
- Honey syrup
- ½ cup honey
- Cocktail
- ½ ounce whole black peppercorns
- ½ ounce whole cloves
- 9 ounces whiskey
- One 1-inch-long piece of fresh ginger, scraped and sliced crosswise into 4 coins
- 2 ounces honey syrup
- Ice
Directions
- Make the honey syrup: In a small saucepan set over medium heat, bring the honey and ½ cup water to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the honey is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate.
- In a cocktail shaker, use a muddler to coarsely smash the peppercorns and cloves. Transfer the spices to a 6-inch square of cheesecloth set flat on a work surface. Gather the corners and tie with a piece of kitchen twine.
- In a 36-ounce iSi siphon, add the spice sachet, whiskey, 15 ounces water, ginger coins and honey syrup. Top with ice, cover and shake well to chill. Charge the contents with a CO2 canister, then strain into 6 ice-filled Collins glasses.
