Act of Union

act of union cocktailAct of Union is a tart, refreshing cocktail that combines rum and a blended Scotch. It’s really easy to make and looks like you put in more effort that you have. That is because of the egg white foam, it instantly dresses up any cocktail!

Act of Union is simple to make and delicious, it’s definitely one of my go-to cocktails. The ingredients are ones that you should keep in stock, they can be used in a multitude of recipes.
actofunion_overheadWhat is your favourite cocktail? Anything you’d like me to make for the blog? I’m going to start sharing cocktail recipes here I think on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

I’m still contemplating whether or not to base it on seasons, liquor or just overall favourites. But I will take any suggestions! In the meanwhile, try the Act of Union this week and let me know what you think.

Cheers!
