Scotch, Sherry, And Concord Cocktail Recipe
- :
- 1 1/2 cups Concord grapes, stems removed (8 ounces with stems)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- :
- 1 1/2 ounces blended Scotch
- 3/4 ounce Oloroso Sherry
- 3/4 ounce Concord grape syrup
- 1/4 ounce juice from 1 lemon
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Lemon peel, for garnish (optional)
- : Pulse the grapes a few times on low speed in a blender then puree on low for a few seconds, until the grape skins are chopped and the grape flesh is slightly broken down. Combine the rough grape puree with the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over very low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture should only simmer for the last 3 minutes of its cooking time. Remove from heat, strain through a fine mesh sieve, gently pressing the solids to extract the liquid. Refrigerate until completely cool.
- : Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Scotch, sherry, grape syrup, lemon juice, and bitters. Shake until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with lemon peel if desired.
