Save Room for Dessert - Cranachan Recipes and Inspired Cocktails

We’ve all been there. Mid-day slump. Late night craving. Whenever it hits, it hits hard. It is, of course, the call of the sweet cupboard. The urge for something indulgent, light, sweet, and uplifting.

Some of us turn to the chocolate cupboard. Others the biscuit tin. We might even see if we can add some ice cream and get some layers going on. But, oh so rarely do we think to head towards the top shelf, where we keep our favourite drams. And this is a mistake that sweet-tooth lovers might not even realise they’re making.

As well as an abundance of sweet whisky cocktails that flip the script on what many might think of as the traditional take on whisky flavours - spicy, dry, best enjoyed in an armchair by a roaring fire - whisky is integral to one of Scotland’s all-time supreme sweet treats - cranachan.

Sit back and savour this indulgent slice of Scottish cuisine.
