Celebrate National Scotch Day

We’re all about holidays. From Thanksgiving to the 4th of July to Halloween, these all call for a celebration. But, what about food holidays? Do you celebrate them, too? Laphroaig_SuntannedScotsman copyIn our books, food holidays are essential. Think — National Burger Day, National Ice Cream Day, and even National Drink Wine Day — all giving us a reason to indulge. Well, here’s a new one for you — National Scotch Day and it’s taking place this Sunday on July 27th.

Now, the question is, how are we going to celebrate? Well, our friends at Laphroaig, are going to make it easy on us. They sent us a bottle of their 10-Year-Old-Scotch, along with a delicious recipe for us to try. So for us, we’re going to celebrate by playing bartender in the kitchen and create The Laphroaig Suntanned Scotsman. This will highlight the classic flavor of Laphroig, while adding a taste of summertime sweetness.

For those of you who would like to play along, we’ve provided a recipe for you for this summertime cocktail. Cheers to National Scotch Day!
