Spiced Scot

Here is a twist on the more traditional Rye and Ginger (which is one of my all time favourites), the Spiced Scot.

2 oz Scotch

Ginger Beer

Mix with ice in a Highball glass.

A simple refreshing drink with a bit of a bite. And for the love of Pete, don't use your best single malt for this one.

Ooh, Saucy!

Besides The Drink, I do enjoy The Food and I like to mix these to hobbies together. I have made a few good things (and a few less then great things). Here is a super simple recipe for a blueberry sauce that is great over ice cream, on pancakes, or on anything else you might think of.

Wild Blueberry Whiskey Sauce

1 cup wild blueberries

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

2 oz Whiskey

In a 2 quart sauce pan bring blueberries, water, and sugar to a simmer. Simmer until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens to a syrup consistency. Adjust taste by adding more sugar to desired sweetness. Add Whiskey and allow to heat then carefully light on fire - this will make a flash so be very careful. Burn until the flame is gone.

As an option, the syrup can be simmered until it thickens further and can be used like a jam and is great on toast.

Enjoy!
