Classic Scotch Cocktails-
Rob Roy
– First appearing in New York City around 1890, the Rob Roy is a cocktail similar to a Manhattan. The drink is named for the Scottish folk hero Robert Roy MacGregor. The Rob Roy is made with Scotch whisky, while the Manhattan is traditionally made with rye and today commonly made with bourbon or Canadian. Like the Manhattan, the Rob Roy can be made sweet, dry, or perfect. The standard Rob Roy is the sweet version, so there’s no need to specify a sweet Rob Roy when ordering.

25ml Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Stir in a boston glass and strain into martini glass, garnish with a cherry
Rusty Nail

Just so you know, your rusty nail recipe is incorrect – you list single malt scotch in the ingredient section and then dictate a blended scotch in the recipe. As we know, it is a blended scotch that is used because adding Drambuie to a fine single malt is sacrilege. Love the team encouragement and leadership. Keep it up young man! Bitterella
