Golden Spice Fizz

This invigorating cocktail, known as the Golden Spice Fizz, combines the rich flavors of blended scotch with the health benefits of turmeric. The drink is a tantalizing blend of Johnnie Walker Black Label and The Famous Grouse The Black Grouse scotch, accented with freshly squeezed lemon juice, turmeric simple syrup, and a touch of heavy cream. The addition of an egg white provides a silky texture, and a refreshing finish is achieved with a splash of soda water. A dusting of sumac powder adds a final touch to this unique and aromatic concoction.
