A Day in Islay
The name refers to The Botanist® gin, which is made in Scotland, on an island called Islay (pronounced EYE-la). Islay, known for its brooding, blustery weather and smoky Scotch whisky, reminds us that there are different kinds of island living.
Makes 1 drink
1 1/2 oz. gin, such as The Botanist®
1/2 oz. simple syrup (see below)
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. elderflower liqueur
3 oz. Prosecco
1/2 oz. Aperol
1 piece orange peel, for garnish
Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 part sugar with 1 part water. Put the saucepan on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let sit until cool. Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Combine the gin, simple syrup, lemon juice, and elderflower liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a coupe glass. Top with Prosecco, then pour Aperol into the center of the glass to create a layered effect. Garnish with the orange peel.
