COCKTAIL: EST. 1820”
Johnnie Walker was a pioneer when he started mixing teas; he then became a leader in the field and grew as a successful professional. His creation made such a sensation and was profitably received by the public!

After all these years, the result is that we confront a big variety of excellent blended whiskies of J.W. family. Based on this example, I attempted to follow the principles of such a unique idea.
As a result, I tried to create a herbal blend that marries one of the last members of J. Walker family, the Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve:
Therefore, perfumes of a blend and other ingredients, such as Jasmine tea, Altea root, Manzanilla and orange dried flowers, know how to accompany Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve. This mix is the basis of my cocktail.
Doing a "twist of the classic", I am creating a cocktail like the way we do at whisky sour.
Ingredients:
·         50 ml Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve
·         25 ml blended tea
·         one egg white
·         25 ml of fresh orange juice
·         2 drops of cherry bitters (“Fee Brothers”)
·         25 ml sugar syrup
·         black basil cress
·         royal jelly
·         “Ghirardelli” dark chocolate with sea salt and roasted almonds
·         a touch of white pepper
Procedure:
In a mixing glass stir whisky with tea; then, pore it at a goblet glass. After that, at a Boston shaker, dry shake with one egg white, also add 25 ml of fresh orange juice, 2 drops of cherry bitters (“Fee Brothers”) and 25 ml sugar syrup, dosage: 1 to 1. Put in the meringue to the top of the drink and afterwards, garnish with black basil cress.
Serving Method:
Roll the salivary buds with a drop of royal jelly. Add a touch of white pepper on top of the dark chocolate from the Ghirardelli family, with sea salt and roasted almonds and continue eating it.
The food tasting is completed by drinking a sip of this ice-cold sour cocktail: Taste the royal jelly, try the dark chocolate and drink your cocktail!

The name of it is: “Est. 1820”.
