SIMPLE SERVE
THE TOOLS
Peeler or channel knife, fresh citrus fruits: an orange, lemon, and grapefruit, room temperature spring water (not tap) and ice.
THE PROCESS
- Pick your favorite Milam & Greene Pour into a glass, then nose and taste
- Choose two fruit rinds that will compliment your whiskey and express the oils on the top of each hand
- Nose the whiskey and smell the oils on your left hand, then nose the whiskey and smell the oils on your right hand
- Choose your favorite combination, then zest that rind into your glass, and drop it in.
- Ask yourself: How does it taste? Not there yet? Maybe too “strong”? If so, play with water or ice or a bit of both
- Now how does it taste? Congratulations! You have found your favorite personalized “Simple Serve” of Milam & Greene
