Rusty Nail Cocktail

The Rusty Nail is a classic cocktail made by mixing Scotch whisky and Drambuie, a sweet, herb-flavored liqueur from Scotland. It is typically served on the rocks and garnished with a lemon twist. The drink has a sweet and spicy flavor profile and is often enjoyed as a digestif or sipping cocktail. It was popularized in the 1960s and has remained a beloved cocktail ever since.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Scotch whiskey
• 3/4 oz Drambuie

Instructions

1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
2. Add the Scotch whiskey and Drambuie to the glass.
3. Stir the ingredients with a bar spoon to chill the mixture.
4. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.

Notes

Adjust the ratio of Scotch to Drambuie according to your taste preferences. Some people prefer a stronger Scotch flavor, while others like a sweeter profile. You can also serve it without ice if you prefer it neat. The choice of Scotch whiskey can influence the flavor of the cocktail. Use a Scotch that you enjoy drinking on its own.
