Background: The Rusty Nail is an old cocktail that combines scotch and Drambuie to invoke thoughts of your dad enjoying a cocktail before dinner. Drambuie is a whiskey liqueur that is excellent on it’s own. However, when combined with scotch it makes a great cocktail to sip on. The name Drambuie is derived from Scots Gaelic which means “A Drink That Satisfies” and indeed it does. The blend of Scotch whisky, heather honey, spices and herbs are a unique taste that everyone should try at least once. Make yourself a Rusty Nail cocktail and enjoy!
- 1 1/2 – 2 ounces Scotch
- 1 – 1 ¼ ounces Drambuie
- Serve in On-the-Rock glass over a large ice cube or ice sphere.
- Garnish with large piece of lemon rind with white pith removed.
