Unlike vodka, scotch is not typically associated with cocktails. True devotees of scotch will never even consider drinking scotch in the form of a cocktail.
That said, not all of us are true devotees. There might be some people out there who are interested in what kind of cocktails that are made with scotch as its base. It is sadly true that there are not many scotch cocktails out there, but I selected a few of the more popular drinks and cocktails made with scotch whisky. Enjoy!
A sophisicitated after dinner drink. Top it with a lemon twist and enjoy!
Clansman's Coffee:
A classic Celtic coffee.
- 25ml measure of Scotch
- Dash of Sambuca
- Black Coffee
- Add sugar to taste; float whip cream on top
- Decorate with grated chocolate
Green Mist:
A minty mix of scotch and creme de menthe, adorned with a slice of kiwi fruit.
- 25ml measure of Scotch
- 1 measure of creme de menthe
- Juice of 1/4 of a lemon
- Decorate with a slice of kiwi and a sprig of mint
Whisky Sour:
The sourness of the lemon, the sweetness of the sugar and the spirit of the Scotch combine to give the perfect balance.
Rob Roy:
A scotch version of the popular Manhattan cocktail.
- 1/2 measure of Scotch
- 1/2 measure of dry Italian Vermouth
- Dash of Angostura Bitters
- Garnish with a cherry
As always, bottoms up my friend.
A rusty nail is still close to the pure thing, but I agree. Scotch is much better when left alone, or maybe MAYBE with ice.
ReplyDeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of scotch enthusiasts would look at these as blasphemy. But that rusty nail looks pretty good.
