Flaming Old Fashioned
Recipe by: Maldon Salt
Serves: 1 Prep: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
• 2 tsp sugar syrup
• 2 dashes of bitters
• Pinch of Maldon Smoked Sea Salt
• 60ml whisky or bourbon
• Ice cubes
• 1 orange slice
• Soda water( optional)
Garnish:
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 1 cinnamon stick
Method:
1. Start by soaking the rosemary and cinnamon stick in some high proof spirit for a few minutes – this will be the flaming part of the cocktail.
2. Take a tumbler and add the sugar, bitters and Maldon Smoked Sea Salt, stirring together. Then fill the glass with ice and add the whiskey or bourbon and stir again. Add a splash of soda water if you like and a slice of orange.
3. Take the soaked rosemary and cinnamon stick and carefully balance on the rim of the drink. Use a lighter or matches to ignite them – they should flame and smoke. The smell of the smoked rosemary and cinnamon will add Christmassy notes to your cocktail. www. insidekent. co. uk • 115
