Scotch Cocktails
Save the top shelf Scotch like Johnny Walker Black for sipping on the rocks. Something like J&B is less pricey, still a good Scotch and perfect for cocktails. My father, who was a bartender when he was a young man always said that someone who orders a high end liquor in a cocktail is being pretentious because when it’s mixed they can’t tell the difference anyway.
The Churchill
The Churchill cocktail was created for Winston Churchill, a Scotch drinker.
Shake with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Rob Roy
Rob Roy was named after the Scottish folk hero. It’s pretty much a Scotch Manhattan.
Stir ingredients in a mixing glass and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
A Rob Roy can also be served on the rocks.
Rusty Nail
A nice mix of a cordial made from Scotch and honey, and Scotch.
This one is served on the rocks so you can mix it right in the glass.
Scotch Hot Toddy
Mix Scotch and sugar in a cup. Add heated milk and stir. You might try this with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
