Rob Roy Cocktail

The Rob Roy cocktail is a classic cocktail made with whisky, sweet vermouth, and bitters. It is similar to the Manhattan cocktail, but is made with Scotch instead of rye or bourbon. The drink is named after the Scottish folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor and was first created in the early 20th century. The Rob Roy is typically served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass, and can be garnished with a cherry or lemon twist.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Scotch whiskey
• 1 oz sweet vermouth
• Dash of Angostura bitters
• Maraschino cherry or lemon twist (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
2. Add the Scotch whiskey, sweet vermouth, and a dash of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
3. Stir the ingredients well for about 15-20 seconds with a bar spoon, to chill the mixture.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a lemon twist.
