How to Make Scotch Whisky Syllabub

  1. In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup Scotch whisky, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
  2. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 4-6 hours (this is crucial for the flavors to meld).
  3. Gently stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until dissolved.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the whisky mixture, beating constantly on low speed until well combined and soft peaks reappear. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the syllabub into serving goblets or glasses. Garnish with fresh berries (such as raspberries or strawberries) and a sprig of mint, if desired.
