Spirit W
OF SPRING
hether you’re a whisky lover or newbie, the spirit is undoubtedly a firm fixture in Scottish culture – and one of our favourites, Johnnie Walker, is celebrating 200 years in 2020. The leading Scotch whisky brand has been distilling its unique blend for two centuries and to mark the landmark occasion, is set to open a world-class whisky visitor experience later this year, bringing to life the people, the places, and the flavours that go into creating the world’s #1 Scotch whisky. To join the celebrations, we’ve compiled our favourite Johnnie Walker highball cocktails to raise a toast for the anniversary, Johnnie & Lemon, Johnnie & Ginger, Johnnie & Elderflower, Johnnie & Green Tea and Johnnie & Peach. Each of these cocktails is both delicious and easy to make, with all the ingredients you need available in your local supermarket. Whether you’re looking to ‘wow’ your next dinner guest or create the perfect tipple to enjoy in the house, we’ve popped the recipes for each of these tasty serves below, at home.
