Background: The Scarlett Highlands cocktail combines blood orange and delicious cherry. Scotch and sweet vermouth balance it out for a delicious drink that you’ll enjoy sipping on. Orange and whisky go hand in hand, but the accompaniment of cherry is a welcome touch. This cocktail is simple to make and packs amazing flavor. Make yourself a Scarlett Highlands cocktail and enjoy it for a delightful before dinner cocktail hour. We love this cocktail because it can be enjoyed all throughout the year. Sitting on the patio outside during the summer is our favorite way to enjoy one!
