Folklore claims that back in 1920, the Maharaja of Patiala, was adamant that his cricket team would win over a visiting English team. For a competitive edge, he hosted a lavish party on the eve of the match, at which he offered his guests the notorious Patiala pegs. These are famously large four-finger measure whisky servings, customarily poured from pinky to forefinger. As expected, the English players drank too much, leaving them terribly the worse for wear and, consequently, defeated the day after. Thus, the myth of the Patiala peg was born.
This inspired spin on the old fashioned takes its cue from the Maharaja's beverage. In our establishment, we offer it from a specially crafted five-litre bottle, but we've adapted the instructions to make it easier for a home environment.
Yields 1 litre, enough for 10-12 portions.
Put everything in a large bottle. Pour in 130g water, agitate until fully incorporated, then transfer it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for as long as three weeks.
To serve, pour roughly 90ml of the prepared cocktail into a old fashioned glass containing ice (traditionally one large cube). Serve promptly. If you're feeling traditional, you could measure it in by hand for authenticity.
