Ingredients for Atholl Brose

  • Old Fashioned Oatmeal
  • Enough Scotch whisky to fill a quart-sized bottle
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey

How to Make Atholl Brose

  1. Combine 1 cup of rolled oats with 2 cups of water in a bowl. Stir to create a thick paste.
  2. Let the oat mixture stand for 1 hour to allow the oats to absorb the water.
  3. Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl.
  4. Use the back of a spoon to press firmly against the oat solids, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining oat pulp.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the strained oat liquid with 1/2 cup of honey until well combined.
  6. Gently pour the honey-oat mixture into a quart-sized bottle.
  7. Fill the bottle to the top with your favorite Scotch whisky.
  8. Securely cork the bottle. Shake well before serving. Enjoy responsibly!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
