Smokey Tropics
Smokey Tropics is a unique and flavorful Scotch cocktail that combines the rich, smoky flavors of malt whisky with the tropical sweetness of coconut syrup and a hint of citrus. The combination of toasted coconut and peated malt whisky creates a complex and indulgent drink that is both smooth and dynamic. The addition of egg white adds a velvety texture, and a touch of absinthe enhances the overall depth of the cocktail.
