Foragers on Horseback "Snacktail"
Autumn 2022
A “snacktail” combines a drink and two-bite snack in one glass. In this case, it’s a refreshing highball of The Forager Botanical Whisky and tonic paired with a goat-cheese–stuffed date wrapped in prosciutto (aka a devil on horseback).
Makes 6 drinks
GARNISH
4 tsp (20 mL) goat cheese, at room temperature
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) minced rosemary
6 Medjool dates
6 strips prosciutto, each
1 x 6 inches (2.5 x 15 cm)
6 tiny sprigs rosemary to garnish
DRINKS
9 oz The Forager Botanical Whisky, divided
3 oz strained fresh lemon juice, divided
24 oz chilled tonic water, divided
1. For the garnish, mix goat cheese and minced rosemary in a small bowl until combined. Make lengthwise slits in dates. Remove and discard pits. Stuff each cavity with a rounded 1/2 tsp (2 mL) goat cheese. Form dates back into original shape. Wrap each date in prosciutto. Pierce tops with rosemary springs. Make slits at bottoms so they can affix to glass. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.
2. For the drinks, fill six highball glasses three quarters full with ice. In each glass, pour in 1 1/2 oz whisky and 1/2 oz lemon juice. Top each drink with 4 oz tonic. Lightly stir. Garnish each drink with a stuffed date.
