May Cocktail: What Rough Beast
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 26, 2019
Here is a cocktail I designed almost 8 years ago which combines Cask Strength Peated Scotch Whisky with London Dry Gin. Recently I refined the serving by removing one unnecessary ingredient (Vermouth) and simplifying the garnish; thus turning the serving into a Gin and Whisky Old Fashioned of sorts. Sometimes less is more which was certainly the case here.
What Rough Beast
3/4 oz Bowmore Tempest
3/8 oz Bulldog London Dry Gin
1/4 oz Orange Curacao
2-3 dashes Angostura Orange Bitters
Ice-cubes
Orange Peel Coil
Add Bowmore Tempest and Bulldog London Dry Gin to a Rocks Glass with Ice.
Add a touch of Curacao and a few dashes of Angostura Orange Bitters
Garnish with an Orange Peel Coil
Enjoy Responsibly!

In case you are wondering about the name of the serving, it is from The Second Coming, written by W. B. Yeats in 1919. A poem written in the aftermath of the First World War; but which seems to have an uncanny ring to our current political and economic climate. (Gosh I hope I’m wrong.)
