Cocktail Recipe

Citrus

The Lagavulin Spirit of Fall is a seasonal whisky cocktail that highlights the bold, smoky character of Lagavulin alongside flavours often associated with autumn. Combining Islay single malt with fruit and citrus elements, this serve creates a layered balance between rich peat smoke and brighter notes. The result is a modern cocktail that is easy to shake up and a real crowdpleaser.
