"Darth Mixer" by Katherine Keough-Jack

"Why this works for me - it not only looks fab, its a simple cocktail to make for a novice like myself.  It includes two great whiskies which have worked better than expected together. Darth Mixer is fun and quick enough to make for those impromptu get-togethers that occur! The beginning of this cocktail has a taste of the 15 Years Old Glenfarclas, followed by a tropical storm then alcoholic tasting pineapples. Finished with a smooth but eye opening zing."
