The ingredients may seem a marriage made in hell, but this is divine: a celebration of the great British summer and Great Britain itself, which is, er, great. Per serving:
1 tsp readymade English mustard
40ml Talisker 18 (or good peaty scotch)
20ml lemon
20ml simple sugar syrup (I make mine by boiling one part water and two parts sugar, until dissolved)
Soda water, to top
Dissolve the mustard in the whisky and lemon, then stir in the sugar syrup. Pour into a long glass over ice, top with soda and serve.
