A play on a Whiskey Sour, the Monkey Mint Sour is made using 100ml Monkey Shoulder Whiskey, 50ml Fresh Lemon Juice and 50ml Mint Syrup. Make the Mint Syrup by blending 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and 4 sprigs of mint; once the sugar has dissolved strain the mixture and store in the fridge. Simple.

Their Jungle Fever Cocktail is made with 1/2 cup of Monkey Shoulder, a cup of Elderflower Syrup 1/4 cup Lemon Juice, 1 cup Apple Juice and 4 Sprigs of Mint. Add all ingredients to a coffee plunger and plunge 5 times or so, to aerate and infuse the ingredients. Serve over ice and garnish with apple slices and mint! This recipe serves 2.
