This World Whiskey Day, celebrated on May 17th, Hamilton invites guests to raise a glass to innovation and indulgence with a one-of-a-kind cocktail — The Governor’s Breakfast.

Crafted by the talented mixologist at Hamilton, this cocktail is a tribute to the most decadent meal of the day, bringing together the richness of a breakfast platter in an elegant glass. Think bacon fat-washed whiskey, zesty orange, tangy lime, a subtle hit of balsamic, and a creamy touch of yogurt — all balanced with maple syrup and Rosso vermouth.

Every sip is bold, savoury, and surprisingly smooth — a cocktail that’s both unexpected and unforgettable.

Ingredients:

  • 20 ml Orange Juice (fresh)

  • 15 ml Lime Juice (fresh)

  • 12.5 ml Maple Syrup

  • 1 ml Balsamic Vinegar

  • 15 ml Plain Yogurt (unsweetened)

Bacon Fat-Washing Method:
Combine whiskey and 10 ml bacon fat in a sealed container. Let it infuse in the fridge for 6 hours. Then strain through a coffee filter to clarify.

To Prepare:
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass. Use the throwing technique — pouring back and forth between two tins — to aerate and emulsify. Serve over an ice block in an old-fashioned glass.

Garnish:
A crisp rolled bacon strip.
