Q. Are there other ways to enjoy scotch besides straight?
A. There are a few popular scotch cocktails. Here are a couple of our favorites:
Balmoral
- 1 1/2 oz scotch
- 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
- 1/2 oz dry vermouth
- 2 dashes bitters
In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine all of the ingredients. Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Rusty Nail
- 1 1/2 oz scotch
- 1/2 oz Drambuie
- 1 twist of lemon peel
Pour the scotch and Drambuie into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with the lemon twist.
Scotch Sour
- 2 oz scotch
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 oz superfine sugar
- Garnish: cherry, orange slice
Shake all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a sour glass. Garnish with the fruits.
