Island Smoke Show

This Island Smoke Show is a bold and smoky twist on the classic Dark and Stormy, delivering a flavorful punch with every sip. The combination of Jameson Black Barrel Irish whiskey, Cardamaro, and Connemara cask-strength peated Irish whiskey creates a rich and savory profile, complemented by the tangy tamarind chutney and zesty ginger syrup. Topped with a splash of vanilla soda and finished with freshly grated nutmeg, this cocktail is a complex and satisfying experience.
