The Glenfiddich Highland Cooler
Created by Allan Roth, Glenfiddich Brand Ambassador
Ingredients:
- 1 part Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve
- 5 parts Watermelon Juice
- Garnish: Watermelon & Mint
Method: This might be one of the simplest, and most delicious, drinks you can make on the 4th of July. Simply cool the juice (pureed fruit) of a ripe, seedless watermelon, and mix it five to one with Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve. Pour into a highball or rocks glass and garnish with a small watermelon wedge and some mint.
For extra credit, stick the 5:1 mixture in the freezer. Once it’s set, scrape it out with a fork to create a delicious watermelon Glenfiddich snow cone.
