Don Lockwood Whiskey Cocktail

Adapted from Abraham Hawkins, bartender, Dutch Kills, Long Island City, NY

Warming caramel, vanilla and spice make whiskey a popular end-of-night tipple. Bourbon is often a nightcap staple, as is Scotch. The Don Lockwood uses a bit of each to create a pleasing, sweet-smoky effect reminiscent of that last bite of a s’more just as the campfire embers billow out. Don’t fret if you haven’t got both Bourbon and Scotch on hand—just double up on one, as the drink works with any whiskey. Splitting the base between the two just adds nuance. Though not exactly a smoked bourbon cocktail, the smokiness from the Scotch can be reminiscent of cozy fall and winter nights or breezy, warm afternoons sitting on the front porch.
