Birch Highball
Birch lengthened with chilled soda water and a sprig of thyme.
Gather
Fierfield Birch Whiskey
Chilled soda water
Thyme
Highball glass
Cubed ice
Method
Simply add 50ml of the whiskey to a highball filled with large cubes of ice. Top with chilled soda (we like Fever Tree) and garnish with a sprig of thyme or a local green herb or fruit.
Magic
This works perfectly with any green herb. It’s a clean, dry and complex serve with really simple ingredients!
Barberry Sour
A whiskey sour, shaken with lemon, frothy egg white and served with a twist.
Gather

Lemon
Sugar syrup
1 egg
Shaker
Hawthorne and fine strainer
Rocks glass
Cubed ice
Orange
Method
Add 50ml of whiskey, 25ml freshly squeezed lemon juice, 15ml sugar syrup and 1 egg white to a shaker. Shake without ice to emulsify, then shake with ice and double strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with an orange wedge or a sprig of rosemary.
Magic
Omit the egg white for a zippier aperitif style serve, or use a local honey to give a richer, deeper take.
