Ingredients
Stout Demerara Syrup
- 440 ml stout beer
- 1 cup demerara sugar *see note
Stout Old Fashioned
- 2 oz scotch whisky
- ½ oz Stout Demerara Syrup
- 2 - 3 dashes whisky barrel-aged bitters
- 2 oz stout beer
- whole nutmeg
Instructions
Stout Demerara Syrup
- Add the stout to a medium saucepan and place over medium high heat. Bring the stout to a light boil before reducing the heat to a simmer. Keep an eye on the stout in the beginning as it can begin to foam over if it boils too vigorously. Use a ladle to skim off any excess foam. As the stout begins to reduce, the foam should subside. Continue simmering until the stout has been reduced to 1 cup, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once the stout has reduced, add the demerara sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool before using. The syrup will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
Stout Old Fashioned
- Prepare a short rocks glass by adding ice and set aside. Add several ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and top with the scotch whisky, the stout demerara syrup, and the bitters. Use a cocktail spoon to stir the mixture for 5 to 10 seconds. Strain over the ice in the rocks glass.
- Add the stout to a tall glass. Use a milk frother to create a thick foam. If you don't have a milk frother you can add the stout to a small bowl and use a whisk to create a foam. The foam won't be as thick as with the milk frother but it should still work. Spoon a layer of the stout foam on top of the cocktail.
- Use a rasp to grate fresh nutmeg over the cocktail and enjoy!
Notes
*Brown sugar can be substituted for the demerara sugar
