Gorilla Sweat


Inspiration: Masira

Explanation: They salvaged this recipe from the deepest depths of the ocean.

Description: Truly not for the faint of heart. It's warm and cinnamony and has butter floating on it.

Type: Old-Fashioned

1 1/2 oz. (3 Tbsp.) Whiskey Peak Water
1/2 tsp. sugar
About 4 oz. (1/2 c.) boiling water
1/2 Tbsp. butter
Freshly grated nutmeg
Cinnamon stick


Make sure to put a spoon in the glass to absorb the heat when you add the hot water.  Pour Whiskey Peak Water into glass; add sugar. Slowly stir in water; drop in butter. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg; add cinnamon stick for stirring.

The "gorilla" will sweat faster if the butter is at room temperature.
