The High Ground
Ingredients
• 25ml Bristol cream sherry
• 15ml Laphrioag 10 year
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• Served with a giant toasted marshmallow
Directions
- Pre-chill your serving glass (stemmed, ideally a Nick & Nora glass).
- Add the first three ingredients to a separate, large mixing glass.
- Add lots of ice and stir down for around 30 seconds (or roll the drink if you're a real pro).
- Torch one side of your giant marshmallow and, once it starts to melt, stick it to the bottom of your stemmed service glass.
- Strain your drink into the pre-chilled glass.
- Toast marshmallow at the foot of the glass to the desired level.

- You can omit any more ice and just blend this final stage instead for easier/quicker frothing!
