Recipe Detail Page

Vigorously shake Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch Whisky, lemon juice and ginger syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Hold a bar spoon upside-down over the surface of the drink. Pour Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch Whisky slowly over the spoon so it floats across the surface of the cocktail. Garnish with a skewer of candied ginger and lemon zest.

Scrub and slice ginger. Bring water to a boil in a small pot; add sugar and ginger. Reduce heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and ginger flavour begins to infuse. Remove from heat and let cool completely. When cool, strain into an airtight container. Store, sealed, in the fridge for up to 1 week.
