Is anyone watching “Payback” on BritBox? It’s a compelling crime
drama starring Morven Christie and Peter Mullan. There are six episodes in
season one, each of which is around 46 minutes long. It’s not as intense as
other crime dramas that I’ve watched, but it’s one of those shows that fills me
with anxiety. I decided that I needed an appropriate cocktail to get me
through. Because this is a Scottish production filmed in beautiful Edinburgh, a
place I have visited and enjoyed, I decided to make myself a Sir Walter, a.k.a.
“Swalter” cocktail, allegedly named for Sir Walter Scott. It is nose-numbingly
powerful, at least for an amateur tippler like me. It’s tasty though, and I was
able to get through even the most intense moments of the series in fine form.
Sir Walter Cocktail
1 t. Grenadine
1 t. Curaçao
1 t. fresh lemon juice
1½ oz. brandy
1½ oz. rum
Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
