A festive dinner party at Andy Baraghani’s New York home typically starts with something crisp and slightly acidic. The chef and cookbook author greets guests with distinctly Persian flavors—think fermented pickles or crunchy crudités—and a bright cocktail, like this smoky take on the traditional whisky sour, featuring tart pomegranate, blood orange, and a splash of The Famous Grouse Smoky Black.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. fresh pomegranate juice
- 1½ oz. The Famous Grouse Smoky Black
- 1½ oz. fresh blood orange juice
- Soda water, to top
- Lemon wedge, for garnish
- Mint sprig, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the pomegranate and blood orange juices and The Famous Grouse Smoky Black. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty, about 20 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass and add a large ice cube. Top with soda water, garnish with a lemon wedge and a mint sprig, and serve immediately.
The Famous Grouse is available to purchase from Caskers, Drizly, Reserve Bar, and select retailers nationwide.
