Memorial Day is coming up this weekend, and we wanted to introduce two cocktails from Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky, both made by top NYC mixologist Ivy Mix.
Laphroaig’s Back Yard Collins is perfect for the beer drinker who wants to try something different, as it combines the smokiness found in Laphroaig Select with citrus flavors and light lager to create a refreshing summer cocktail.
The Laphroaig Smoked Independence blends peaty Laphroaig 10 YO with pineapple and pomegranate to create a delicious sweet yet smoky cocktail you’ll want to share with your friends.
Cheers!
