About
This cocktail was created in 2012 by Tom Lasher-Walker (@oneminutemixology) at Bramble in Edinburgh. Islay Scotch brings smoke and weight, while Branca Menta adds cooling mint and herbal bitterness. The lemon oil lifts the aromatics and sharpens the contrast between the two. Simple on paper, but surprisingly layered in the glass.Cheers y’all!
