Ranger Creek bartender Josh Sotello provided the Current with the earthy and herbaceous recipe, which uses the brewstillery’s Rimfire Mesquite Smoked Single Malt Whiskey. If single malts with incredible depth of flavor and heady, smoky aromas are your jam, saddle up. This one’s for you.
Ranger Creek’s Smoked Whiskey Sour
2 ounces of Rimfire Mesquite Smoked Single Malt Whiskey
.75 ounce lemon juice
.75 ounce Simple Syrup
1 egg white
1 sprig of rosemary
Dry shake the egg white in a cocktail shaker. Add whiskey, lemon juice and simple syrup to the shaker then pour in ice. Shake and double strain into a rocks glass with light ice. Use a lighter to the singe the rosemary sprig — don’t let it catch fire, folks — and add as a garnish.
