Cameron’s Kick Cocktail – The Celtic Sparkle

The Cameron’s Kick is a classic forgotten cocktail that first appeared in the famous Savoy Cocktail Book in the 1930s. It boldly combines Irish whiskey and blended Scotch whisky, softened with a touch of orgeat syrup and fresh lemon juice. An unusual yet perfectly balanced blend, it charms with its smoothness, almond flavors, and fresh citrus notes.

• 2.5 cl Irish whiskey
• 2.5 cl blended Scotch whisky
• 2 cl fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cl orgeat syrup (almond syrup)
• Ice cubes
• Garnish: lemon zest or toasted slivered almonds (optional)

1. In a shaker, pour the Irish whiskey, Scotch whisky, lemon juice, and orgeat syrup.
2. Add ice and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
3. Strain into a well-chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with a lemon zest or, for an original touch, some toasted slivered almonds.

- You can use a mild single malt for a more aromatic profile.
- The orgeat syrup can be replaced with homemade almond syrup for a more subtle taste.
- Perfect for an aperitif or as an original tasting cocktail.
