The Marathon Mile
Scotch highball with ginger beer, honey & cinnamon — endurance in a tall glass
Running and events are the same act: repeat until the pattern emerges.
Why this cocktail? Doug runs until the pattern emerges. This tall, steady Scotch highball is endurance in a glass.
The Story
Doug runs every city he lands in until the route reveals its secrets. This Scotch highball — tall, steady, paced — captures that philosophy: the warmth of whisky for stamina, ginger for the sharp awareness that comes at mile five, honey for the sweetness of pattern recognized, and cinnamon for the comfort of a route you finally know.
