Ingredients

4 cl single malt whiskey, not peaty
2 cl orange juice, freshly squeezed or not-from-concentrate
2 cl grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed or not-from-concentrate
1 cl lime juice, freshly squeezed or not-from-concentrate
1 cl almond syrup
1 cl sugar syrup
1 piece (s) orange peel, organic

For decoration:

1 pair sour cherries with a stem
1 orange zest, organic

Instructions

First measure the orange juice, grapefruit juice and lime juice exactly with a jigger or shot glass and pour it into the shaker. Then add the almond syrup and the sugar syrup, the non-peaty whiskey and shake for about six ice cubes for 20 seconds. Pour into the old fashioned glass on ice. Squeeze a piece of organic orange peel over the glass and moisten the edge of the glass with it.
Use a sour cherry with a stem or an organic orange zest as decoration.
Attention: as with every cocktail, try the shaker to see whether the individual balance between acidity and sweetness is right. If not, adjust with lime juice (= acid) or sugar syrup (= sweetness). Beware of too much almond syrup.
