MIDWEEK COCKTAIL
As Halloween nears and the nights draw in, Jenner Cormier provides a warming recipe from Nova Scotia: The Jimmy Dean.
The Jimmy Dean is a tribute to the famed and ill-fated Hollywood star, served on a cedar plank (chopped by Jenner himself) and accompanied by a bowl of smoked rosemary and hickory wood chips to engage smell as well as taste. It plays up to the image of the ‘outdoorsman’ with his scotch, and assumptions about single malts. ‘I took that tongue in cheek idea and amplified it with a whisky-on-whisky cocktail.’ He uses oak paper that has been rolled around cigars and then smoked to create the bitters, which complement the wild smoky flavours of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
