Burner Builder ⁠

Last Christmas I was gifted “The art of the Japanese cocktail - by Masahiro Urushiro”. inside this wonderful book were all his creations and more from Katana Kitten in NYC.
One of the sections focused on boiler-makers, (a beer and a shot). The attention to detail on this simple but beautiful concept inspired me to make the Burner Builder cocktail.
Combining the Scotch and beer together in a highball, I looked to the funky notes of a local saison to pair with the cotton Candy notes of the Glenfiddich XX. Topped with Dry vanilla soda this drink has the versatility and poise to please to all palates.
