This week's cocktail of choice comes from Isle of Skye, the blended Scotch whisky made by Ian Macleod Distillers. A twist on the classic Whisky Sour, this tribute to the "misty isle" uses cherry syrup and apricot bitters.

The result is a stone-fruit inspired cocktail which suits the summer season. The sweetness of cherry is balanced by the hint of peat smoke in Isle of Skye's suggested whisky.

Ingredients:

50ml Isle of Skye 8 Years Old
12ml cherry syrup
25ml fresh lemon juice
3 dashes of apricot bitters

Method:
Combine ingredients in shaker. Serve on the rocks in an Old Fashioned glass, and garnish with skewered maraschino cherries.
