These Scotch-Infused Desserts are the Perfect Summer Treat

Sam Slaughter

With National Scotch Day coming up (Friday, July 27), we thought it would be a good idea to consume Scotch whisky in a way other than straight. To be fair, we love it that way most of all. It’s just that we like to mix it up every once in a while, which is how we came across Cow Tipping Creamery (CTC), an Austin, Texas-based company that is doing something special for the upcoming day. CTC is doing what they do best (making ice cream) and doing what we do best (adding booze to things … like our mouths). The result of that are delicious Scotch-filled dessert drinks.

Using Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, CTC has devised three different special recipes that will be available for sale only on National Scotch Day. If you’re in Austin, we highly encourage you to head down and pick up one or three of these delectable desserts.

If you can’t make it down to Austin, though, don’t you worry. You can make the delicious treats yourself at home by following the recipes below.

Our favorite is the Whiskey A Go-Go, but all three are pretty chuggable. Just don’t drink them too quickly. No one wants brain freeze while trying to enjoy whisky.

Orange Cream Dream

Cow Tipping Creamery
  • 1.5 parts Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
  • 6 parts Dublin Orange Dream Soda or other orange soda
  • 1 generous scoop or swirl of CTC ice cream

  • 1 generous scoop or swirl of CTC ice cream
  • 1 glass dipped in CTC Chocolate Dr. Pepper sauce and sprinkled with cracked pepper

Method: Take a chilled old-fashioned whisky glass (short glass) and dip in CTC Chocolate Dr. Pepper sauce. Use a squeeze bottle that’s filled with the DPCS to add more sauce on the rim to get a dripping effect. Sprinkle rim lightly with cracked pepper.

This is the perfect grilled duck breast recipe
Simple yet sophisticated, this grilled duck breast recipe will be your new summer favorite
Duck breast entree

In the summer, we grill. It's what we do. Give us your burgers, your steaks, your chops, your fish, and your brats. There's (almost) nothing that can't be improved by a quick trip to the firy grill grates. It's that signature smoky campfire smell and flavor that invokes feelings of summertime happiness, and from May to August, we can't get enough. But what about the more obscure (albeit delicious) grilled meals? Of course, barbecue chicken, hot dogs, and ribs are what summer love is made of, but isn't there more to the smoky, charred fun than these usual suspects? We say yes.
Grilled duck breast may not be the first thing that comes to mind when it's time to fire up the grill, but maybe it should be. Duck is delicious, and while it tends to be reserved for more fine-dining situations in the States, there's no reason it shouldn't nestle in next to the other blue-collar ingredients on your grill. After all, duck breast is a reasonably priced, incredibly versatile, succulently juicy, rich, and gamey piece of meat. There's no reason why it shouldn't steal the show at your next barbecue. This duck breast recipe is incredibly simple to make, but it tastes sophisticated enough to wow anyone around your picnic table.

As with baseball, martini specs, and politics, people tend to have very strong opinions about chicken salad. In the South, nearly everyone has their version of "the best chicken salad," which almost always comes from a mother or grandmother. Heated debates over additions and mix-ins like fruit and nuts are commonplace. Screaming matches over the correct brand of mayonnaise happen more than you think. (Spoiler alert: The correct answer is Duke's.)

Blueberry galette

There are some recipes that are just so stupidly delicious, it's almost a danger to have them on hand. Those recipes that everyone who knows you has asked for and lusted over. And if those drool-worthy, crowd-pleasing, thanks-I'll-have-another recipes are a breeze to make, you have yourself something pretty magical, truth be told. Something that has the power to cheer, comfort, console, welcome, and nourish both the body and the soul. This is one of those recipes.

Almost embarrassingly easy to make, this rustic dessert is made from the humblest of ingredients — including store-bought pie dough. But combined with fresh blueberries, zesty lemon, and nutty almonds, you'd never know you took any shortcuts.
