Straw Dog

Straw Dog

The Straw Dog is a rare strawberry cocktail that isn’t overly-sweet; the single muddled strawberry provides a wonderful freshness not typically found in scotch-whisky drinks. It’s a masterful interplay of flavors, and we’d expect no less from its creator, the brilliant Thomas Waugh, of Death & Co.

Waugh calls for Compass Box Asyla, a mild, blended scotch. We’d stick with blended scotch rather than a big smoky single malt; it’s even lovely with the more muted flavors of Japanese whisky.

Ingredients

Instructions

Muddle the strawberry in a shaker. Add the rest of the ingredients and ice, and shake well. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a fresh strawberry.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
