Method

How to make Campfire Sour

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe, toast exactly one small plain marshmallow, and place it on one very short unbranded pick.

  2. 02

    Measure the blended Scotch, peated single malt, toasted-marshmallow syrup, lemon juice, and egg white into a shaker. Add only the merest pinch of salt, the source's alternative to three drops of saline.

  3. 03

    Add solid cold ice, seal the shaker firmly, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.

  4. 04

    Strain the mixture back into the empty shaker and dry-shake without ice to emulsify a smooth fine foam.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe, then spray a restrained mist of peated whisky over the foam.

  6. 06

    Set the single toasted marshmallow pick neatly at the rim and serve without flame, smoke, or another garnish.
